This is an interesting one.
Given the number of modes in Emacs that now use timers to do
things during the idel-delay, it might be useful to create a
single-point of customization --- perhaps initially as an
interactive command, that one can invoke to "enter laptop power
saving mode" --- somewhat similar in spirit to the various
laptop-mode shell scripts floating around the net. Those scripts
allow one to invoke the necessary actions through acpi ---
eventually emacs could also be taught to run an acpi-power-online
or acpi-power-offline hook to automatically react to whether it's
running on AC power or on batteries.
