Brightness

Displays

Technical stuff, XRandR, Udev, helper... Smooth brightness change Try to avoid double brightness changing (some hardware is wired in a way that it does not require us to actually change the brightness, but we still have to show the osd)

Keyboards

Technical stuff, upower? udev as well?

Inhibition

Types of inhibition, api, fd.o spects Note to myself: fd.o spec should inhibit dimming as well ?

Devices

dpms

Technical info, most probably port to xcb

dimdisplay

Technical info

Suspend

Technical info (suspend vs hibernation vs hybrid)

Special buttons

Lid

What should happen by default? and when you plug a monitor?

Power

Showing menu by default?

Restore settings

Should we agresively restore settings like we are doing right now? or should we trust the user knows what it wants every time? Should we restore everything but brightness?

Extensibility

Power Management is a tricky matter, we need it to be extensible so all use cases can be fit. for example, executing a script when AC is disconnected.
