I assume it's ok to post mate questions here as there's no dedicated
mailing list (yet).

Both mate-power-manager and mate-power-preferences dump core. Issue is
as reported here, https://github.com/jlmess77/mate-ports/issues/11,
except this with 1.8.0. Local system is 10.1-PRELEASEASE #0 r270772
amd64,

This leaves me with the battery monitor of gkrellm, which doesn't
indicate charging.

Another problem, although a bit more generic, is that I cannot get the
gkrellm-bfm plugin to work. I hacked the source suitably to get it
compiled, but when I try to enable it, it dies with

kvm_open: /dev/mem: Permission denied
Could not open kernel virtual memory

My standard repertoire of trying to work around this is exhausted -
making gkrellmd/gkrellm/grellm-bfm.so suid root/guid kmem, or
combinations thereof, even adding world read permissions to /dev/mem.
Any suggestions?
