So you would be using gnome-power-manager and gnome-power-preferences on a set top box? Would you use NetworkManager also? STB's are a very specialised niche, not something that gnome-power-manager is focused on. There's nothing wrong with creating a stripped down g-p-m (to interact with HAL) as an optional initscript. But I really don't think this is required -- feel free to jump on the g-p-m m/l if you require this functionality.
