[Kde-hardware-devel] Power Managemenet system-wide

[Alex Fiestas]

This morning my laptop ran out of battery because didn't loggin (I was in 
KDM), my first thought was to blame KDM for not caring about Power Management, 
but after some discussing on kde-core-devel is true that the DM is not the 
best place to handle these stuff...

That makes me wonder, why PM is currently within the user session? this sounds 
broken in many ways...

1-If two users are logged at the same time, they will fight to see what is the 
winner policy
2-You need to load KDE/GNOME/Whatever to have it
3-We're mostly duplicating code between GNOME/KDE/Others since'were all 
implementing basically the same stuff within the session.

Maybe I'm only saying bullshit as I'm sure that somebody else wondered the 
same thing... but I couldn't find any discussion about the topic :/

Cheers.
