+ 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.
