That's what I have, thanks for explaining me what the options do, though.
Right now, I have the following in /etc/apm/{line,battery}:


	statefile=/tmp/apmstate

        # Running on battery...
        state=$0
        if [ -f $statefile ]; then
                oldstate=`cat $statefile`
        else
                oldstate=
        fi
        if [ "$oldstate" != "$state" ]; then
                noise $S/KDE_Window_DeIconify.wav
                mount -u -o noatime,nodevmtime -a
                atactl wd0 setstandby 5
                atactl wd0 setidle 5

                echo $state >$statefile
        fi

This seems to work. I guess I'll observe this for a bit longer, then
commit it to share/examples/apm.
