Hmm, interesting. I'll see what I can find out.

On a related note, shouldn't the addon emit signals when the cpu speed
changes? This would mean stuff like the cpu scaling applet in GNOME
could be patched to use the new HAL interface (as it shows the current
frequency updated in real time in the toolbar).

Not required for the initial patch I guess, but might be a nice feature
considering we'll have a nice little cpufreq addon soon.

Richard.
