Hi Ted: Thanks for the reply! You're right, it is masked for all architectures. I have not, however, tried gnome-power-manager under Gentoo on my computer. I simply noticed that the recent version of the power manager was hard masked in Gentoo because I thought that's what was running under Ubuntu. Actually, on closer inspection, Ubuntu is running what looks like a slightly earlier version that has been modified for Ubuntu. That earlier version (though not modified for Ubuntu) gets a clean bill of health in Gentoo for AMD64, according to the portage page. But, I haven't tried it.
