gnome-power-manager
If you have GNOME installed on the same installation of Linux that you are using with Openbox (or if you don't mind installing a few GNOME dependencies) you can run gnome-power-manager - simply type or paste at the command prompt:
- gnome-power-manager
Gnome power preferences provides a notify area icon, and lets you adjust the power managment settings used my gnome-power-manager. run:
- gnome-power-preferences
xfce4-power-manager
xfce4-power-manager appears to require fewer dependencies than gnome-power-manager.
Notify area icons
Both the Gnome and the Xfce4 place icons in the notify area - this will hopefully work in most or all panels, including tint2 and LXPanel.
