Just my two pennies worth here. Moving what I view as key system settings to
user space seems very much M$ like. I am STILL having problems getting the
monitors to stay ON for my display systems because the X settings are not
remaining nailed down - and I can't see why even after running xset in the
start up script they still sometimes go into power save mode. So it would be
nice if something that affects the physical hardware was bolted down in a
system level configuration and not wandering around in user space?
