Dunno.  dbus should perhaps be able to feed up the ACR value when 
requested but I don't think its the place for the math.  How does gnome 
power manager do it?.

Integer math issue.  I was watching for the avg draw to be zero but not 
the instantaneous draw.  I added a check for DRAW_INST to be zero as 
well.  I don't have any XO's with me though so I can't test.
