Until I find some time to tackle the problem properly, I'm setting a
cron job to enable the powersave governor overnight and the performance
governor during the daily hours. That's just a temporary workaround
though.

I wanted to do this too, but wanted to dim my screen on idle, and have
it come back on input under X11. I don't run gnome or kde, so didn't
want to use one of their power managers for this. I couldn't find
anything, so I wrote my own.

I don't know if I have done it in the most efficient way, but you're
welcome to hack the code to do what you want - it is not complex code.

Under LXDE I'm using xfce-power-manager. It does that and a lot more.

Unfortunately it's not suitable for Klistvud's needs unless someone
hacks the sources, because in the current form it will use 'ondemand'
for normal operation.

According to the description 'sentinella' seems to be exactly what you
need. It just showed up in unstable though and is a KDE program...

Hey, thanx, David. Although I'm in no way capable of hacking the code
-- or even understanding it -- I really appreciate the gesture. This
list simply *rules*.
My "skills", if they may be called that at all, hardly reach simple
bash scripting. Therefore, for the time being, I'm looking at
xscreensaver-command, specifically at
http://linux.die.net/man/1/xscreensaver-command . There's a snippet of
perl there that, with any luck, could be hacked into a coarse bash
script (since I don't talk pearl either).
