I just built/packaged it from CVS so I don't need the screenshot. It's even 
better in person :-) I like the graphs with the dots.

Congratulations, you've done a great job and accomplished a lot in that 
short year. In addition to all that is in gpm itself, you've done a lot 
with the gss integration and all of the hal changes that have been needed 
to make it all work.  Plus, I should add that I also think the code itself 
is pretty nice, it's very comprehensible.

You solved a very big problem for making a usable laptop environment for 
Linux.  I really appreciate it.

Andrew
