		+	:You can take a look at the source code (<tt>gnome-hdaps-applet.c</tt>, v20081204), it's very small and easy to see. <tt>g_timeout_add()</tt> installs the timer that wakes the process every 100 milliseconds, even if nothing happens (which will be the case 99.9% of the time). Even if the impact is not dramatic, this is not what I would recommend for a laptop considering that this program is going to be always running in background. --[[User:Berto\|Berto]] 01:33, 28 June 2011 (CEST)

		+	There are a few references to scripts that will switch the workspace when you tap the laptop on the side. I googled for a while and all I could find was pretty old stuff.
		+
		+	A few of the links I found are:
		+
		+	[http://wiki.compiz.org/Plugins/Smackpad Compiz Smackpad Plugin] This one looks very interesting but how do you install it?
		+
		+	[http://www.eugen-feller.de/?p=12 Compiz Smackpad] I could not clone the software.
		+
		+	[http://blog.micampe.it/articles/2006/06/04/here-comes-the-smackpad Here comes the smackpad] No luck here either.
		+
		+	Etc...
		+
		+	So, has anyone got this working recently? How?
		+
		+	Thanks! --[[User:Lunatico\|Lunatico]] 18:15, 21 April 2010 (UTC)
