Re: No more xfce power manager. Alternatives?

I'm using pm-utils (+ samsung_tools) and xscreensaver for the pm
settings and conky to control and have an eye on it (have a look at
the mega conky thread in the crunchbang forum for examples and
possible settings.

In any case my system controls look like this:

----------------
TEXT
${color FA062A}S Y S T E M    I N F O$color
${color FA062A}${hr}$color
Host:$alignr$nodename
Uptime:$alignr$uptime

Swap use:$alignr$swap | $swapmax
Disk use root:$alignr${fs_used /} | ${fs_size /}
Disk use home:$alignr${fs_used /home} | ${fs_size /home}
CPU usage: $alignr${cpu cpu0}%
System temperature: $alignr${acpitemp}°
Battery/AC adapter:${alignr}${battery_percent BAT1}% | ${acpiacadapter
ACAD} ${if_up wlan0}WLAN: ${alignr}${wireless_essid wlan0} |
