CPU Governor abandoned

This is a screenlet for GNOME and XFCE desktop environments. The screenlet is designed to be a graphical frontend for the command line tools cpufreq.

I wrote this back in 2009, but abandoned the project rather quickly as newer Ubuntu releases contained something similar.

Features

• Display current status (cpufreq governor, CPU speed).
• Change the cpufreq governor.
• Change limits for CPU speed.

Known Bugs and TODO

TODO

• Automatic switching of the governor when plugging in or out of the power supply.
• Reshape code to a nicer form.

Bugs

• Sometimes the cpufreq governor is changed without user request.
• Calling cpufreq does not work using "subprocess.Popen"; instead the older "os.popen" had to be used.
