I've done one better, installed Enlightenment to try it out on this machine, in case it works without intermittently spinning up the CPU when the screen goes to sleep, but all the power settings were missing in Enlightenment too. I run an update today which brought in a new dbus package. Although @preserved-rebuild did not pick up anything, revdep-rebuild which Dale suggested and I had not run yet, wants to reinstall quite a few packages including ... libreoffice. O_o Anyway, I'll let it run its course, reboot and see what I get. -- Regards, Mick
