    Users can launch tasks and renice them to lowest priority levels..., with the highset
    priority being given by the administrator...I've always though it's gnome/kde fault to launch
    the apps at the same nice level than the panel and the window manager. Despite of
    that my "design" wouldn't achieve that such fine-grained control, no - I'd argue that not
    many people needs that, but then I shouldn't tell people what they need (and anyway
    the previous proposal would so powerful for its simplicity that it might be worth of it doing
    it anyway)

    I realize that CKRM provides much broader functionality, the alternative I was proposing
    was just for CPU resources (and would probably work well for IO bandwith with CFQ),
    I realize that things like "partitioning memory resources" is a whole different problem.

    But I certainly think that CKRM is far too complex - the docs I've read spent all the time
    describing things like classes, classes inhretance, classification engine, resources
    scheduler, resource schedulers configuration and so on. I must admit I've not read too
    much about CKRM - I had to stop because I couldn't understand it, everything is far too
    complex to my little mind, and I'm saying this because I bet I'm not the only one here
    who can't understand it either.....
