Btw, I upgraded the GNOME Control Center, it no longer replaces my

1) The machine does not cleanly shut down with
the rt kernel. The
system appears to go down, but the power light remains on and
does not
turn off manually (this happens with the battery in or out). Any fix for
that ? I don't like having to switch off the power at the strip, I doubt
that it's good for the box.
i can't help with your other questions but this could a consequence of
having the "acpi=off" and/or "noapic" set in your kernel bootloader
config.
i don't remember which one disables the auto-power-off, but this is
definitely the observed behaviour on my box. i have to physically switch
it off after it shuts down.
i set these boot options because they help with the way IRQs are
allocated, which in turn allows better real-time performance.
