If the DeviceKit-power daemon does data collection and stuff,
shouldn't it be then running all the time (and as soon during the boot
process as possible)?
What about DeviceKit-disks and S.M.A.R.T. monitoring (which I think it does):
If the service is only started as soon as you log in and start an
application like palimpsest, isn't there a risk that we could miss
important events, i.e. shouldn't DeviceKit-disks not also be started
as soon as possible and running all the time?
Cheers,
Michael
