Appending "OnlyShowIn=KDE;" to kfmclient_dir.desktop dolphin.desktop and
cervisia.desktop , helped. After that , "Main Menu Bar" opens Favorites in
Nautilus.
I wonder if removing "OnlyShowIn=GNOME;" from nautilus will do the same thing.

Changing the values for gnome power manager didn't really solve the
problem , as I had mentioned before. I'm now using Icewm , without
gnome-power-manager and the problem with the screen brightness still
exists. I suppose this is a problem with acpi , rather than with gnome-
power-manager.

I finished writing a simple Shell script for monitoring the disk-head
activity.Once started , it beeps if the number of parks exceed a preset
limit , within the given interval of time.You need to have beep
installed for it to work.
P.S : - Running smartctl usually brings the disk out of idle ,
Is this really a bug with Ubuntu - Linux in general. As far as I've
observed , this seems to be inherent to the Hard disks. I'm guessing
these parameters were set , keeping Windows in mind.

So , the hard disk doesn't exactly go into suspend when the disk head is
parked, so the kernel doesn't get to know that the disk head is
parked(because standby=>parking) - it interprets this as a sign that the
hard disk is in Active/Idle mode.So it doesn't bother stopping data from

That might be true , but honestly my laptop gets too warm to keep it on

I was experimenting with hdparm , and i found that there is a sleep mode
