+			      MATE Power Manager
+			   A Power Manager for MATE
+
+MATE Power Manager is a MATE session daemon that acts as a policy agent on top of
+UPower, which requires fairly new versions of the kernel and udev.
+MATE Power Manager listens for system events and responds with user-configurable actions.
+
+MATE Power Manager comes in three main parts:
+
+	- mate-power-manager:	    the manager daemon itself
+	- mate-power-preferences:  the control panel program, for configuration
+	- mate-power-statistics:   the statistics graphing program
+
+To build, MATE Power Manager requires
+
+	- Glib (2.13.0 or later)
+	- Gtk2+ (2.11.0 or later)
+	- MATE Keyring (0.6.0 or later)
+	- DBus (0.70 or later)
+	- libmatenotify (0.4.3 or later)
+	- libwnck (2.10.0 or later)
+	- Cairo (1.0.0 or later)
+	- Unique (0.9.4 or later)
+	- libpanel (2.0.0 or later)
+	- xrandr (1.2.0 or later)
+	- Canberra (0.10 or later)
+	- UPower (0.9.1 or later)
+	- HAL (0.5.8 or later)
+
+To work properly, mate-power-manager requires udevd, upowerd and
+udisks-daemon to be running.
