Re: Fluxbox-users Digest, Vol 73, Issue 1

Until recently, I had been using fdpowermon for a tray icon, along with 
some scripts I wrote to fill in what it couldn't do.  But someone 
recently turned me on to the new mate-power-manager, which is like the 
old xfce one, but no xfce4 dependencies. it is in the Debian repos. 
seems to work well so far.  I run a minimal-install Debian system with 
only Fluxbox as a WM.
