Currently kickoff detects well if kpowersave is running. I thought you patched kpowersave to work through upower instead of hal.
Err what? I don't see kpowersave referenced anywhere in our kickoff branch. It actually detects from hal directly. I don't know where you got that idea.
Would not it be a better solution?
Nope, kpowersave does exactly what kickoff does, communicate via hal.
the best solution is to implement a interface for all programs to access via dcop, that way we can use hal or udev or whatever backend and not have to rewrite the system every time
Previously it used its own daemon, then it was ported to hal, why not to port it to upower?
previously what did? ksmserver?
Hybernate/suspend dialog circumventing kpowersave is not good I think.
Kpowersave works the same way, via hal.
