Zenity, Pipe, Sed

Gnome provides a nice applet to change the CPU frequency if the kernelspace governer is set "userspace". However it does not allow to change the kernelspace governor itself. So it's late, I'm bored...anyway, the results was this little hack job. It's just a bash script that uses zenity and some pipes and sed. Once you've selected a governor, an icon in your notification area will return success or failure. Get it here:

Edit: Zenity 2.12 had some api changes. I'll fix the script and repost.

here is the fixed script:

However, Gnome CPU Frequency Scaling Monitor now has a set governor right-click menu. So this script is now obsolete for Gnome users.
