After some talk with dario (cool guy btw), i’ve changed some things in the management of switchable graphics and it’s almost ready for inclusion in KDE.

Here are the things that stop me pushing code for review:

code cleanup (i just cleaned it up from debug swears )
astyle run (if i submit this, kde dudes laugh in my face)

For those impatient to try it even if it may eat your hamster alive:

git clone git://anongit.kde.org/kde-workspace.git
cd kde-workspace
wget http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5225087/0001-Added-switchable-graphics.patch
git apply 0001-Added-switchable-graphics.patch
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr ..
cd powerdevil
make
sudo make install

And here goes the result
