Would you care to share your configuration for 2.6.39-rc*? Up to -rc3, I was
getting some problems (probably, problems with udev, but I don't quite know for
sure).

OK, so we have people using pbbuttonsd and, I would guess, its company utilities
(gtkpbbuttons, powerprefs etc.). I see that these were removed from the archive.
Are there any good alternatives to this combo? In particular, how does pmud work
in comparison to pbbuttonsd? I am considering (well, now, for quite some time)
jumping in and maintaining it, if the alternatives are not as good as it.
