О майн гот. Сейчас пролистал рассылку. Ни за что не догадаетесь для чего _большинство_ из этих пожеланий здесь приведено, и как они связаны с десктопом.

No, it would be used for automating backups, or implementing
suspend->hibernation transitions. For example, right before the machine
suspends, I would schedule it to wake up in a hour. If I get woken up by
the rtc alarm (and not by the user through a lid open), I might:
- check that I'm plugged into the AC, it's night, and in the vicinity of
the server that handles my backups and so backup the system.
- check whether the battery is low, and hibernate the machine (if it
supports it, obviously).

We cannot do that if we can't make out whether the wake-up came from a
user action, or the alarm we set.
