Bug 267041

Description of problem:
Window Maker is responsible for 4 wakeups when totally idle (as shown by
powertop). 


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
wmaker-0.92.0 (from www.windowmaker.info website)

How reproducible:
I am not a Fedora user (sorry), but I bet that wmaker also wakes up approx.
4 times in the latest fedora.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run wmaker without any dockapps running
2. Start powertop on a xterm and stand still (no mouse movement, no key presses,
etc)
3. 
  
Actual results:
wmaker appears with 3.5 to 4 wakeups

Expected results:
It should have 0 wakeups when totally idle, as it should be event driven.

Additional info:
Two months ago I've made a patch for my own usage (see this post in powertop
list:
http://www.bughost.org/pipermail/power/2007-June/000614.html)
and I've been using my own version of wmaker with 0 wakeups since then, with
no known regression or any problems.

On my website (url provided above) I have this patch, plus an additional one 
from mandriva to make the vanilla wmaker-0.92.0 compile with gcc 4. Well, I 
divided the wakeup patch into 3 separated patches, according to what it does.

The -remove_nopolling.patch is more evolved, since it replaces the default
behavior of polling whether the configuration files inside ~/GNUstep/Defaults
have changed by the kernel dnotify mechanism. Note that I adapted the dnotify
example from the kernel source Documentation/dnotify.txt to my needs. With this
patch wmaker is notified when the conf. files changed. E.g., if I modify the
WMRootMenu by hand, or with the genmenu script (also on my webpage, but someone
else wrote the script under GPL), wmaker automatically loads the new menu.

The other two patches just remove what I _think_ are useless timers. However,
I am not so sure (theoretically) what the delayedAction function really does,
except that by removing the timer which calls it (with
-remove_delayedAction.patch) I experimentally don't see any bad side effects. 

Well, I hope these patches turn out to be useful for someone. They are for me.
I really like not seeing wmaker in powertop's shame list.
