hi Arjan,

Great to see that some work has been done. Just a question / feature
wish:
What if when the user quit powerTOP after the user has accepted changes
and so on the user get asked if he / she want to save the settings -
make them permanent. That would be awesome.

Just a suggestion. Keep up the good work.

best
