Hamster is now split into backend that serves data over d-bus, and
frontend that displays the data.
The functions that you are using are in the hamster.client module, and
the standard notion for functions is to use underscores to delimit
words, instead of using camel case. For details see python style
guides.
Also note that all the documentation is in the client module.

power management and screensaver timeouts are two separate
configuration settings.
i believe we are tracking screensaver's signal.
