Description of problem:

Richard Hughes has created 10 very small and safe patches for
gnome-power-manager that should go into our RHEL5.1 update
release.


Information on these patches:

Here is a list of suggested backports from 2.16.4 for RHEL 5.1:

gnome-power-manager-2.16.0-dont-leak-icon-memory.patch
Description:    The allocated memory was stored in a const char variable
                which meant that every time the icon changed we leaked
                about 15 bytes of memory.
Importance:     High
Risk:           Low

gnome-power-manager-2.16.0-dont-leak-memory-on-hal-restart.patch
Description:    We were not clearing the devices when HAL restarted
                resulting in duplicate devices on restart.
Importance:     Low
Risk:           Pretty low

gnome-power-manager-2.16.0-dont-leak-stats-memory-on-exit.patch
Description:    Due to a typo we were not freeing stats memory when
                the module was unloaded.
Importance:     Low
Risk:           Low

gnome-power-manager-2.16.0-dont-mark-battery-charged-at-zero-percent.patch
Description:    Some batteries are crazy and report themselves charged
                at zero percent charge, or momentarily report zero when
                the charge status changes (Sony laptops?).
Importance:     Medium
Risk:           Low

gnome-power-manager-2.16.0-dont-mark-widget-prefixes-translatable.patch
Description:    On any non English local the information tool was
                crashing as the widget names were partially translated.
Importance:     High
Risk:           Low

gnome-power-manager-2.16.0-dont-segfault-if-widget-name-missing.patch
Description:    Don't segfault if the widget name is not present, which
                fixes a bug if an old glade file is loaded.
Importance:     Medium
Risk:           Low

gnome-power-manager-2.16.0-add-battery-to-create-device.patch
Description:    Allocates device rather than just watches for changes
Importance:     Low
Risk:           Pretty low

gnome-power-manager-2.16.0-dont-show-error-on-long-hibernate.patch
Description:    Don't show the "your computer failed to hibernate"
                when the hibernation period is very long, and the DBUS
                request times out.
Importance:     Medium
Risk:           Low.

gnome-power-manager-2.16.0-emit-signal-so-battery-remove-detected.patch
Description:    Emit a signal so the UI knows the battery has been
                removed, and can update before a timeout.
Importance:     Low
Risk:           Pretty low

gnome-power-manager-2.16.0-fix-macbook-pro-dimming.patch
Description:    Fix the macbook pro dimming controls; macbook hardware
                has an insane number of brightness levels and we have
                to step an integer number of these to avoid causing
                lots of CPU load every time we change brightness
Importance:     Medium
Risk:           Low

gnome-power-manager-2.16.0-make-compatible-with-latest-hal-api.patch
Description:    Add to the string comparisons so that a new version
                of hal can be used with an old g-p-m.
Importance:     Medium
Risk:           Low

gnome-power-manager-2.16.0-translations-update.patch
Description:    Updates all the translations to what 2.16.4 has.
                This also includes quite a few new languages.
Importance:     Medium
Risk:           Medium

I hope some of these are useful. David, can you ack/nak some of these
and then I'll add these to a srpm. I've attached all the patches for
review, although all have been upstream in 2-16 for many months.
