Re: silent PC vs. emacs

[Richard Stallman]

    Given the number of modes in Emacs that now use timers to do
    things during the idel-delay, it might be useful to create a
    single-point of customization --- perhaps initially as an
    interactive command, that one can invoke to "enter laptop power
    saving mode" ---  somewhat similar in spirit to the various
    laptop-mode shell scripts floating around the net. 

Is there really anything except stealth fontification that will
_continue_ waking up?  As far as I know, everything else just
operates once each time Emacs becomes idle.
