OK, I decided not to be a lazy ass and do the builds for
you guys
myself. Here's the packages:
http://adamwill.fedorapeople.org/gnome-power-manager/gnome-power-manager-...
(i586)
http://adamwill.fedorapeople.org/gnome-power-manager/gnome-power-manager-...
(x86-64)
http://adamwill.fedorapeople.org/gnome-power-manager/gnome-power-manager-...
(src.rpm, just to be a good citizen)
If you're suffering this issue, please grab the appropriate
build for
your system, give it a try, and let us know if it works.
thanks!
