I've not had one user of a HTPC wanting to use g-p-m (that I know about) as it's designed primarily for laptops and PC's.
But that's the point. Are we heading towards a situation where ACPI power management would only be feasible for those folks which run Gnome?
That prospect does not seem convincing to me. The best thing would possibly be creating something like 'acpid' (if necessary) to act as a layer for power management on top of HAL, the layer which could also provide command-line tools to get and manipulate the state.
Gnome-power-manager could then interface that daemon/those tools for its GUI interface. The code is already probably in g-p-m (or getting there), but the issue might be just moving it to a non-gnome, pure-C (and whatever attributes you want here) project which could be leveraged by all the distros and even non-X, non-interactive, etc. users.
