Bug Description
Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager
By default, whenever GNOME starts, gnome-power-manager sets the CPUFREQ to ondemand.
This is particularly annoying to those who prefer the performance governor.
And it happens even if you disable the powernowd service.
But there is already a very elegant solution to this:
The gnome-power-manager UI *already* allows you to choose the CPUFREQ governor for AC and BATTERY independently.
Ubuntu could still ship with ondemand as default, but this would allow desktop users to enable the performance governor easily.
The problem is: this option is NOT displayed in the UI by default.
To enable it you must set a gconf key: /apps/gnome-
I am reporting this bug since I spent more than a day trying to enable the performance governor as default,
while this very simple and elegant method already existed, but for some reason is hidden.
Please, enable the possibility to choose the governor in the UI.

Just a hint for anyone coming from #156472: The options I was really looking for are:
/apps/gnome- power-manager/ cpufreq/ policy_ battery power-manager/ cpufreq/ policy_ ac
/apps/gnome-
