gpm manual is too vague and geared towards laptops

Hi Derek, thanks for the report. The manual for Gnome Power Manager is provided by the gnome-power-manager package, so reallocating accordingly. It would be very helpful if you could also report the bug upstream at bugzilla.gnome.org, where the Gnome Power Manager developers will see it.

Hello, thanks for the report - Matthew is right, the manual that you are referring to is included with the gnome-power-manager source, which comes from the upstream. This request should be send directly to the upstream authors at bugzilla.gnome.org or the project homepage [1], for forwarding instructions please have a look to http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME. If you forward the bug, please post a link to the upstream bug report here. Thanks in advance.

Ok, I will do that. I am currently working on a redo of the xml help
file (for yelp) for gtkpod, and maybe g-p-m will let me re-do theirs. I
believe help files need to be up-to-date before Ubuntu can truly be
"ready for the desktop" and don't mind lending a hand.

Great! I think that they would really appreciate that. Perhaps you can
drop them an email on their mailing list:

to get feedback.
