Change CPU-governors within Cadence #7

It would be nice to have a centralized way of changing the CPU-governors in KXstudio, that's regardless of DE used. For example Gnome has a good applet, KDE aswell I think, but XFCE don't have one. Issues are it might require root, which then makes it a big no-no, but there should be a way around that really.

http://library.gnome.org/users/cpufreq-applet/stable/cpufreq-applet-introduction.html.en Gnomes applet for changing governors. Not sure if it needs root or not.

A way to do this without root is: http://askubuntu.com/questions/149271/how-to-change-default-scaling-governor-back-to-ondemand (last post) Depends on gnome-applets though, which might not be the best when using other DE's. Not sure how it handles multiple cores either, the command invoked at the bottom just changed one of my governors.

As for xfce. package xfce4-goodies contains cpufreq applet among others, but latest version, i have seen in repos, is 4.8.
