95 I've done one better, installed Enlightenment to try it out on this machine,
96 in case it works without intermittently spinning up the CPU when the screen
97 goes to sleep, but all the power settings were missing in Enlightenment too.
98
99 I run an update today which brought in a new dbus package. Although
100 @preserved-rebuild did not pick up anything, revdep-rebuild which Dale
101 suggested and I had not run yet, wants to reinstall quite a few packages
102 including ... libreoffice. O_o
103
104 Anyway, I'll let it run its course, reboot and see what I get.
