klaptopdaemon

[Thomas Gillespie]

Quick status update on klaptopdaemon.

I emailed Danny Kukawka, he said he was porting to kde4 but not solid 
atm. After a short discussion I got the impression that he works alone. I 
don't know about anyone else, but not using solid seems like a bit of a 
wasted oppertunity, so heres my (partially implemented) plan.

I'm taking the gui stuff from kpowersave, giving the ui files to qdesigner 
and tweaking to make them qt4. I'm then going to write the code around 
those, which I've started and progressed quite far, stealing bits from 
kpowersave if needed. There are a few things that I cant find suitable 
solid replacements for, such as the autodim, dpms etc.... but maybe I 
could get in touch with the solid team about that. Anyway, I've dumped 
my very very very initial codebase in playground/utils/kde4powersave/ if 
anyone wants a look. Some things work, such as the suspend buttons 
and CPU frequency buttons in the context menu, and the 
settings/schemes saving code is there, they just dont do much atm. 
Suggestions, or even patches, are more than welcome.

Thanks

Tom
