Battery Useage

A question:

People here with noticable power-drainage issues, are you running XFCE or the default desktop?  I have noticed that power seems to drain even faster under XFCE than with the default Openbox/Matchbox combo.

Anyone else?

In addition, when playing music, I close the the clamshell.  The default desktop blanks the screen which will save power, XFCE keeps on going like a duracell, this will most certainly drain the power more, any fixes for that?

In the next (two weeks tops) version there will be a "MP3 Player function" - which will let you run the Zaurus on without using the display.

Yes, I asked about that before, but nobody answered.  I use XMMS and oggs plus the CE-RH1 audio remote, the fix requires the main XMMS window to retain the focus, will this new feature require tapping another icon? Hence XMMS loosing focus, and so the remote will no longer work? Or is this something completely different, in which case, will the remote work?

Sorry, this is off topic, but I'd like to know.
