Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager

With all the talk about mobility one thing as been forgotten:
Power Manager Profiles.

An user can have the same PC/laptop/netbook at Home, Office, On The Road, etc

All of those require different sets of power management.
I can leave my PC at Home suspend when I'm away for more then 30 min, but at the Office I may want it always on for VoIP incoming calls.
At home its darker and I need more LCD bright, while at the office, I'm close to the window, so I need extra light, where as On The Road I need it at 100%.

Having an option on GPM-preferences, and even better, at FUSA would be great.

This is a serious bug and it should be reopened. "I don't think it's a good idea" is not a good reason (that was according to upstream".
