Simple python plasma applet designed to mimic the behavior of the gnome cpu frequency selector applet. It allows the user to select an available cpu frequency via the userspace governor, or another available governor to use. It is not yet integrated with policykit, which means a chmod +s of cpufreq-set is required for now to use as non-root, which apparently can be a security flaw. Afaik the gnome applet has the same flaw.Last changelog:
The bug that has since been fixed in the ruby applet where frequencies like 1.65ghz will not work DOES exist in this python version. It's not a hard fix, but I am no longer maintaining the python ver and dedicating all my "work" to the ruby version. This core logic bug and many other bugs have been fixed in the ruby version. Please use that if at all possible.

This applet depends on python-plasma and pyqt4 libraries, and python of course.
Anyone want to add policykit support? ^^ It could also use a nice dataengine for getting governors and cpu frequencies, but none exists yet afaik.
