Well, if we do go down the services way, I think I would rather start with
the power part of the settings app - so that would be the first service
needed.

I kind of agree. But I can't really think of anything else at the moment -
except perhaps directly setting things at the sysfs. The unified app makes a
lot of sense - so I guess we can try this method out - and find our way over
obstacles as we get to them:-)

Thanks for the pointer. I'm still not all that comfortable with the
framework and there are a lot of gaps in my understanding - so I will need
some hand holding for some time :-)

  Yes that's definitely there. Though this means that each service will have
to clearly spell out what needs to be configured, what kind of parameters
each config item needs and how to apply the config. That will put a lot of
onus onto each service, rendering the configuration app much simpler. Am I
getting this right ?
