Comment 5 for bug 109446

It seems to me quite clear that waking up on keyboard/mouse is pretty standard behaviour. More generally, options for power management are very limited (I've often gone to the power options and thought... "wow, that's it? can't fix it here then"). So on the policy issue I'm suggesting wake on kb/mouse as default, but configurable (along with e.g. lid options, USB devices, WOL etc.).

From my point of view the current status is: sub-optimal default, no GUI options. The choice of installing acpitool or even acpitoolgui has been presented here and in http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/21747 (don't know why this is closed). This seems to be a bit of an anti-solution: same default, unnecessarily large number of options available from command-line package/after installing from .deb.

The first solution from http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/21747 of enhancing the standard GUI a bit to deal with some common use-cases (and persist settings) seems like it could be incorporated elegantly. Is there still a policy issue? What are the objections to providing a simple UI to enable/disable wake settings?
