Martin and Michael, I subscribed you to this bug report because you made
the recent changes in pm-utils.

    Current hooks when switching to battery:
    - [hal-cd-polling] Disable HAL's polling of CD drives for automounting
      them. Note that this HAL functionality is already obsolete in Debian's
      current GNOME, but still being used in current KDE and XFCE desktops.
    - [harddrive] More aggressive harddrive spindown times

[/quote]

The changelog is saying that a more aggressive harddrive spindown is set
when on battery, but could it be that this option is also active when on
mains power? Because another thing I notices since pm-utils was updated
is that my CD drive spins up from time to time even there is no CD ROM
in it, which could be caused by the disabled cd polling.
