Thanks for testing it. The daily live would be the best!

if that doesn't work, you can try Alpha 2, but it should work.

> Power management will open but appears as a completely blank window. Minimising & reopening a few times gets the sleep time slider bars to appear, but nothing appears to work. However dragging the sliders with the mouse does change the setting - it just isn't visible until you minimise and reopen the window again. N.B. The 173 graphics driver is no good for me, lots of corruption and web pages don't show properly
