Yes, but we also need a better control panel. The current control panel
could be enhanced in several ways. I'd like to have a larger area for
the icons or smaller icons (more than 4 cdev's before you have to scroll).

It would also be nice to be able to hide cdev's temporarily. I might
want to hide Dimmer and some other rarely used init/cdev combinations
so that often used cdevs would be visible. Editing the file names to
achieve ordering and priority is a kludge.
