if the device is in offline mode, and something tries to get online, one would normally get a prompt asking if one want to leave offline mode. but with powerlaunch, it just silently ignores it so to speak.

I had to uninstall powerlaunch from my N800 because the display would not shutoff when I stop using the tablet. I uninstalled powerlaunce and everything is fine. This is the second version I installed and the same thing happened with the first version I installed.
The other thing I found was if the N800 was charging and you shut it down with powerlaunce and disconnected the charger. The charger Icon would stay on the screen. I would have to remove the battery to get it to go away. All is now normal since I uninstalled it.
This is only what I have found on my tablet. I also have a lot of other software installed so who knows what conflicts there are.

Should be fixed in 0.8-3. Thanks.
(im guessing its a simple question of a comment marker in a config file somewhere?)

But then I couldn't figure out what those standard preferences would be.

heh, i guess so. and as pr default powerlaunch tries to mimic the default menu, i guess its mostly a bug. if me or anyone else want the "buggy" behavior, we have to mod it in there by ourselves.

Hehe, I love powerlaunch now. 
Thanks Austin!
I've got the hang of the config files
The only things I would like are :
- Startup locking support. I switch it on Settings and my N800 carries on booting. But when I configured powerlaunch to use mce over powered it didn't. Any chance of loading mce temporarily? The lock screen gets executed at osso-systemui-early.
- Making Alarms work. Even with the device on, no alarms go off. With mce they work fine.
I also had a problem where if I shutdown the device with a song playing, it would play again next time I started up.. Not good where teachers confiscate such items doing that :P . I added mpc pause to the mpd init script which works fine but is there a cleaner way?
Also, thought about updating the mpc.conf file?
My one now has toggle set to the big play button, the screen refreshes itself 0.01 seconds, menu button is to choose random play and the home button launches mmpc.
Thanks Austin!

You could either save it either by writing to a file or use what mce/systemui apparently use (the gconf value /system/osso/dsm/locks/devicelock_failed)

Alarms: I'm not too clear how alarms work or what mce's role is. I will have to look into it more.
Regarding mpd starting up on bootup, that's really a mpd problem. In some sense, it's a feature that it saves the state. But I agree it's annoying. Probably the right thing to do so that it doesn't depend on mpc is in the mpd init script to modify the mpd state file to have "state: stop" before starting mpd.
