[Bug 82277] Re: [Feisty] guidance-power-manager doesn't work for UPS on a desktop system

[sebas]

I've recently done a bit of work on that, with a very recent version,
you can set IS_LAPTOP=True at the top of powermanage.py. This is a
workaround to allow powermanager to run, even if HAL reports that the
machine is not a laptop (in which case it exits by default).

The reason why I did that was to allow to control CPU frequency via the
applet, and hibernate / suspend after a while.

I do agree with you that this functionality is useful also for non-
laptop machines. I'm not sure, however, if extending the scope of
powermanager does any good to its primary use cases.

Care to check if the hack I introduced comes close to the thing you
want?
