Tim, All,

  In working though testing, I used 'tdedebugdialog --fullmode' and set the '0
generic' output to file kdebug.dbg (the default name) for all 4 (information,
warning, error, etc). That file was over 46 Megabytes and 431,000 lines
repeating tdepowersave activity in a 12 hour period. tdepowersave is constantly
churning away in the following loop (2 examples):

tdepowersave: unmonitored device changed: /sys/devices/
tdepowersave: unmonitored device changed:
/sys/devices/LNXSYSTM:00/LNXPWRBN:00/input/input4/event3//dev/input/event3

tdepowersave: unmonitored device changed:

tdepowersave: unmonitored device changed:
/sys/devices/platform/pcspkr/input/input6/event5//dev/input/event5

  This is with the tde_dbus_hardwarecontrol happily set and not doing its
repeating loop. Why is tdepowersave changing unmonitored devices multiple times
per second? Is this just it spitting out what activity it read for various
hardware devices (net, mouse, speaker)?? My mouse is usb, so I can see input
there (not while I'm sleeping though), but why would any of the serial devices
every change - they are not used. This looks like a true race condition, because
none of my devices are changing, and they are certainly not changing multiple
times every second while I'm asleep :)
