Cool, thanks. I'll work on the time-limit data filter next.

Yes, intended for now, as the processing overhead for putting them on
the line is non-trivial. I might change that by popular request.

That's that plan. Any idea how to convert from the output of time() --
which is seconds since 1970 I think -- to this format? Or I might just
switch to using a GTimer -- again any idea how to take a GTimer and
convert to "Sat Apr 15, 15:35:40"?

It's because the value is only read at g-p-m startup. Can you file a bug
please and I'll fix it so that it's monitored like the others.

Yes, agreed. Bugzilla please, then I can reference it in the source.

That's a good question, and one that I've got no easy answer to.
Maybe an icon in Applications, System Tools, Power Information that just
fires off dbus-send with a ShowInfoWindow() type request to g-p-m?
Richard.
p.s. Does anybody know how to just gtk_widget_hide a gtk_window when the
[X] is pressed? At the moment the widget is destroyed and that does bad
things. OR is keeping the info window alive but hidden for the lifetime
of g-p-m bad?
