Comment 19 for bug 1421923

Hi Dan, could you please bring this up in the ubuntu-phone mailing list?

I think it would be good to let click packages extend the functionality of account-polld, but the thing is delicate, we must make sure that this possibility does not come to detriment of the battery life. But maybe an idea is to let account-polld run click-provided plugins as separate processes, which get only a handful of seconds of CPU time and then get killed or suspended till the next period.

It would be sad to see a dekko-specific solution here: it would basically mean that our application model is a failure, if we are to give special treatment to every app who needs to do some background processing.
