I did have to read a few man and gnome help pages to understand what the
script does, but as scripts go, yes it's fairly straightforward (and
I've already made a few modifications to suit my tastes). Thank you for
showing me this. I didn't realize gnome-power-manager had cpufreq
settings. One more reason to explore gconf-editor.
I also want to apologize for taking 4 days to respond. I thought it
would be best to wait until I had tried using the vacuum, but still
haven't gotten around to it. I don't have carpeted floors where I live,
so I don't have easy access to one; but I'll try to borrow one tomorrow
and let you know what happens.
