GNOME Power Manager 0.0.2

[Richard Hughes]

GNOME Power Manager is a GNOME session daemon that acts as a policy
agent on top of the Project Utopia stack, which includes the kernel,
hotplug, udev, and HAL. Currently it supports UPS's, laptop batteries
and AC adaptors. Its goal is to be architecture neutral and free of
polling and other hacks.

GNOME Power Manager now has a home:
http://gnome-power.sourceforge.net

I've pushed files to the CVS (which should be available soon, details on
website) and I have a release 0.0.2 available on sourceforge, which
currently:

* Displays battery status of laptop batteries, UPS's and (soon to be)
wireless mice and keyboards.
* Displays presence of AC Adapter
* Has preliminary EVENT ACTION's coded in, soon this will move to a
D-BUS interface for other applications to use.
* Is architecture neutral. i.e. works in APM, ACPI, and PMU.

N.B. APM and PMU do not auto-update yet due to the refresh code not yet
being present in HAL, this is being discussed and rectified.

N.B. Unless you use ACPI, or if you want to use your UPS, you'll have to
use HAL from CVS.

Please could you have a look at send me any comments or ideas. 

Thanks,

Richard Hughes
