Hi Jonathan,
this is a bug, indeed... I will fix it soon.

KMilo in general? Then we have to ask George Staikos if he has any
intentions, I only wrote the vaio plugin.

Any artists volunteering?

Actually, it does: k t
- kmilod unloads the module of no Vaio hardware is found (if you see
messages about it loading, there should be a "dtor..." message right after
it, cannot test now, I am sitting on a thinkpad :-) This behaviour sounds
strange, but is our (Georges and mine) best guess yet - all modules are
loaded and report if they are usefull or not. Works well, besides some
overhead :-(

- For the Config Center module, I have submitted a patch that again
disables the module if no Vaio hardware is found, somebody had commented
the lines of code for reasons I did not understand. The CC module can
still be loaded, but will display a message and not allow any settings to
be made.

If you experience any other behaviour, please let me know.

What thinkpad models is your module for?

Best regards,
