Umm, no. The IPC between these components would be horrific and over-complicated for no actual gain. KDE are quite happy with their own power management applications, and no KDE developer has ever mentioned to me that they would want such a cross-desktop daemon. > This would allow us to more easily address integration issues with > GNOME and other desktops and it means that we can aim at avoiding > notification area pollution (because session initialised notification > icons are a violation of all that is good and right). g-p-m can default to only displaying when the battery power is critical, if you are worried about notification area icons, or can be disabled if you really *want* to use battstat-applet. GNOME Power Manager is so much more that just an icon.
