[maemo-developers] [maemo-developers] Where can I find the sources for the load-plugin?

  Hi,

Jakub has released the sources (LGPL):

http://koti.welho.com/jpavelek/tmp/770/load-plugin_0.2.5-1.tar.gz

(Unfortunately he lost the sources of all recent versions, the now 
open-sourced version lacks the process-listing and -killer feature of 
binary-only version 0.2.4)

I am currently trying to add a swapon/off menu entry to the source.

Some difficulties I face:
1.) want to add a persistent application setting for the swap device
2.) the applet runs as user, swapon/off needs root

For 1.) I am simply struggling with gconf, wrt. 2.) I am considering 
to add two lines to /etc/sudoers and call "sudo /sbin/swapoff ..." 
etc. from the applet. Any better ideas or hints?

  Armin.
