gpmudmon-applet dates back to when apm emulation wasn't in the kernel. With Xfree86 needing apm emulation, you can pretty much count on apm emulation being present in Powermac kernels, so any other applet should in fact do. If you find gpmudmon-applet provides some feature not found in other applets, it may be possible to make gpmudmon-applet work with pbbuttonsd as well. Michael
