that manpage doesnt give useful hints how to configure this, at least not for 
people who are not much into perl... so I read (and have read there, when 
filing this bug!) this:

-----

       However, unless you want to build the theme dynamically, doing it this 
way is not recommended. Instead, you would build the theme from a .cfg file, 
and possibly modify it from perl. Let's say you wish to add an event to 
suspend the system when the
       power gets low; in that case, you'd do something like this:

        sub suspend {
               system("sudo pm-suspend");
        }

        my $theme = fdpowermon::theme::get_theme("mytheme");
        $theme->set_event(0, \&suspend, 'd');

--------

Do you mean I should add the last 5 lines (starting at "sub suspend") to 
theme.cfg?

Maybe you could make this clearer in the manpage or supply a more 
"bloated"/advanced/you_name_it theme.cfg in 
/usr/share/doc/fdpowermon/examples/ ?!

I'd like to use this feature and I dont want to ask Gregor how to. I'd rather 
be able to learn this from installing the package ;-)


cheers,
        Holger
