This applet allows the user to set the active power profile (power-saver, balanced, performance). It's compatible with the power-profiles-daemon and tuned, which are the same DBUS interfaces that GNOME relies on for power profiles.

Are these power profiles different than the processor speed governors controlled by the Cpufreq applet?

Huh, good point. There is some overlap, but this relies on the UPower DBUS, rather than directly modifying the system file, and so does not require admin privileges to change the settings.

I'll do a bit of research to see whether it makes sense to update the CPUFreq applet instead and what that would mean.

Let's not merge yet.
