This is true and should be the default behaviour, however, it may be a good idea to have a flag which if set changes the default behaviour such as not recreating the swap file.

Thank meanie. I will conside it.

can you also make the Exit menu option optional? i can't see a use for it for myself except maybe when in testing mode.

also i've noticed that in matchbox when you tap and hold the menu bar, it lists all the applets to add/remove but powerctrl is not in the list.

matchbox will search /usr/share/applications/, and check for all .desktop files.
If the .desktop file contain following item, either or both I forgot
Type=PanelApp
Categories=Panel;Utility;MB

The new item will display on add/remove menu.

So, maybe you lost mb-applet-powerctrl.desktop in /usr/share/applications/

Todo:
1. add option to enable/disable "exit" menu item
2. add command line arg to set or restore backlight, freq etc. powerctrl can replace lightnpower.py within xiniitrc
3. add option to check backlight and restore.
4. Since mbmenu cost 4MB memory, try to find a way to merge mb-applet-powerctrl's menu to main menu.
5. check swapfile on cf/sd, add option to keep swapfile when swap off. This function rapid swap on.
