I don't know about your question, but to add some data to this: I =20
noticed after an update of my laptop (around christmas I think) that =20
the frequency isn't tuned down anymore when idle. When I manually tune =20
it down with the applet it raises withhin some seconds and then stays =20
at the fastest frequency (until I lower it manually again). I also =20
noticed that in the beginning (after reboot) it works as expected, but =20
after some minutes (less than 10 in front of the desktop I think) this =20
behavior starts.

I didn't look into this issue yet. Do I have to disable powerd and =20
gnome is doing it instead or is this some kind of bug related to =20
$subject?

Bye,
Alexander.
