Hi,

runs fine. I think switching the cpu speed requires root privileges since sys fs is read only for normal users. Anyway I'd love to see some feature which allows running scripts for changing the cpu speed. Perhaps like that:

- Two edit boxes in the preferences for the applet. One edit box for the path to a script which changes to high speed, one edit box for the path to a script which switches the cpu to slow speed. (Users can use 'sudo' for example to access sys fs with root privileges.)

- If running at high speed, the applet would switch to slow speed (by running the corresponding script) if the user is clicking on the applet; same for running at slow speed: The applet should run the script for switching to high speed.
