I can live with the change - powersaved has a setting "consider_nice" to configure this and i can put out a support article telling people to "invert" this setting if they are running custom kernels, so it is not really a showstopper for me. Most of the users don't understand thos settings anyway ;-)
I'm not sure what is better for me - a nice short name or a clear indication on which version we are running ;-) -- Stefan Seyfried \ "I didn't want to write for pay. I QA / R&D Team Mobile Devices \ wanted to be paid for what I write." SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Nürnberg \ -- Leonard Cohen
