I found the reason for this behavior: gnome-power-manager was resetting that parameter, there is one field "consider_nice" under the "cpufreq" options that overrides the setting defined by 'local' service. Not very nice way to proceed, in my opinion. Too bad now I have a similar problem with hdparm service, I set two out of three disks to standby mode (-S 12) with 'hdparm' service, but as soon as Gnome starts the setting is ignored or overwritten. I have to issue again the hdparm command from a root shell to make it effective within Gnome. I've not yet found which Gnome option could influence this behavior. raf
