At this moment I want to replace hal on mediamanager. Ilya told me that soon 
opensuse will replace udisks with udisks2 and mediamanager will not working 
at all.

About kpowersave, I have already a battery monitor applet, based on upower. 
However, to replace kpowersave entirely will be difficult, because we have no 
mechanism to control cpu governors (upower do not provide such function, and 
as upower developers told me, will never do).
