I've been letting that rot for too long in my TODO list. We're internally 
using "almost" the same interface in KDE (designed them to be as close as 
possible of your proposal from the start). But because they've a couple of 
differences I didn't retain the org.freedesktop interface naming yet. We're 
preparing 4.2 and I'd like to make sure the interfaces we're using are shared.

Basically, the main difference is that the following methods/signals aren't 
available on our interfaces:
 - Shutdown
 - Reboot
 - CanShutdown
 - CanReboot
 - CanShutdownChanged
 - CanRebootChanged
 - GetOnBattery
 - GetLowBattery
 - OnBatteryChanged
 - LowBatteryChanged

So my proposal would be the following for a 0.3 version of the spec. Strips 
out those methods and signals from the main interface, and have two new 
optional interfaces:

* org.freedesktop.PowerManagement.BatteryStatus containing:
  - GetOnBattery
  - GetLowBattery
  - OnBatteryChanged
  - LowBatteryChanged

* org.freedesktop.SessionManagement containing:
   - Shutdown
   - Reboot
   - CanShutdown
   - CanReboot
   - CanShutdownChanged
   - CanRebootChanged

I think the second one has already been pointed out in this thread (keep 
session management separated from power management). If we agree on those 
changes, I can basically support such a 0.3 version of the spec today, and 
that'd probably be minor adjustments on the gnome-power-manager side (a few 
methods moving to another interface).

Regards.
