wmpower is a Window Maker dock application allowing the user to
graphically see (and set) the power management status of his laptop.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Features:
- It works;
- Battery status display (you choose the battery);
- Both APM and ACPI kernels are supported;
- On ACPI kernels you get fan status and a thermal sensor;
- Direct access to Toshiba hardware: you get fan status
  and LCD brightness management even without an APCI kernel;
- While on battery, it can stop your fan, HD, lin-seti
  service to make the battery last longer; if you have a
  Toshiba Laptop, it can also adjust your LCD brightness;
- Fast battery charge mode: you can keep 'on battery'
  settings until your battery reaches 100%: this will
  make it recharge much faster;
- no-meddling option: if you want the program to display
  power manamenegt status, but not to take any action.
- On Toshiba laptops you can use your mouse wheel to adjust
  the brightness of your lcd screen.
- Support for Dell laptops for temperature and fan status

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Usage:
Just type 'wmpower' in a shell...
Type 'wmpower -h' to see all available options.
Obviously it needs a running X-Server to work.

Bugs:
None that I know of... if you find one (or would like some nifty
features added), please mail me.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

To do:
- Split the program in two: a daemon to set power management 
  features and a gui to show the status.
- Implement some configuration files... we don't want to type
  all these options every time, don't we?

Thanks:
- Filippo Panessa for his 'wmab' program... it all started from here.
- Costantino Pistagna for his 'wmacpimon'... this is where I got
  initial ACPI support.
- Jonathan A. Buzzard for his Toshiba(tm) Linux Utilities... guess 
  what I got from there ;-)
