Battery Saving Mode & Graphics Mode

[dahc2424]

I have gathered a lot of different things to do to increase battery life on a laptop through the forums. I want to be able to make a batter saving session that I can log into or a "normal" mode that has all the fancy graphics etc that kills battery life. Is there a way to create 2 "sessions" so when I login to my account I can choose which one I want. I tried creating to user accounts but when I changed settings in 1 account it affected the other.

What is the best way to do this?

You could just put all your power savings options in a script and, at the bottom of the script run, "metacity --replace". That will turn off compiz. Then, in another script, put the options that reset your machine back to full power and, at the bottom, put "compiz --replace", which will start compiz again. You can then create launchers for the scripts and you can toggle back and forth between the two at will without logging out.
