and i thought it was my imagination...
i am not a developer or even a linux guru-but a "mechanic" this is my anecdotal evidence

something has been eating my power like nobodies business in the recent past.... it seemed like when i closed the slider the unit would not "lock" i then kept remembering to slide the lock key at top and that worked some of the time.... i tried something which seems to have worked in conjunction with sliding the lock key- i removed all of my desktop applets (i was using google search and omweather along with gpe summary ) and my battery drain seems to have stopped...

am i the only person who has auto-lock installed on diablo who has this issue??
