No such thing.

I try to add the battery monitor (this is a desktop, no battery), and
the thing complains there is no acpi:

  Can't access ACPI events in /var/run/
  acpid.socket! Make sure the ACPI subsystem is
  working and the acpid daemon is running.

However, that daemon is running:

  minas-morgul:~ # rcacpid status
  Checking for service acpid              running


However, the applet is added (it is the only one found searching for
"power"), but there is no such setting.


I run "gnome-power-manager" on an xterm. It exits, and nothing is seen.

I then start "gnome-power-preferences" on the same xterm; the settings
are these:

  On AC Power
    Actions
      Put computer to sleep when inactive for 30 minutes

I move the slider to "never".

I wonder who and why designed a default to power off the machine when
inactive. Just imagine a user power off a server like this! :-(
