Either is good (for me as maintainer). A comment about the "notification spam": the user only gets 4 notifications for "low battery", "very low battery" and "critical battery" and one saying "I'm doing the low-power action in 10 seconds" -- and then there are a 2 optional notifications (i.e. that you can turn off in gconf) for things like notification when you remove the ac_adapter, or when the battery reaches 100%. There's been quite some cleanup-of-late in CVS, so please checkout a fresh CVS if you think the code needed some re-organisation (or love) then please comment if you think something should be done better. There's lots of stuff in bugzilla [1] of stuff in flux, like the HAL restart organisation, and the suspend notification and/or resume registration for applications, so I can understand it you think that it's "not quite ready" I guess if g-p-m is not a "blessed" module, then the string and UI freeze no longer applies -- or is the decision not yet made?
