cpu frequency scaling applet doesn't retain settings

[Charlie Schluting ☃]

Binary package hint: gnome-applets

After logout or reboot, CPU frequency settings (configured via the GNOME applet) generally revert to "performance" rather than "ondemand," which is what I always set it to. This setting should be persistent.

Maverick beta, amd64, happened in Lucid too.
