It would work for whenever you're working, and would disappear when you're not actively using the computer. Yes, that's simplistic, but it covers a lot of complaints. The specific number, I don't know. How about the Gnome developers? What do you guys think? (I know Behdad is one, but I don't know the rest). If this becomes a Gnome default, the power savings, hopefully, will filter to more systems than just Fedora. If it was just Ubuntu, this could almost double (or more than double?) the savings from just Fedora. ________________________________________________________________________ Basil Mohamed Gohar abu_hurayrah@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx www.basilgohar.com
