 download version 0.2.0 and build with 'python setup.py build' (0.2.1 has compilation errors)

and fedora 15 package 'xosd-devel' or ubuntu package 'libxosd-dev'

Pyinotify
 http://pyinotify.sourceforge.net/
 https://raw.github.com/seb-m/pyinotify/master/python2/examples/daemon.py

Install HDAPS - IBM Active Protection System Linux Driver:
(http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/HDAPS)

In Ubuntu 11.04 with Unity Shell (like GNOME 3 WITHOUT gnome-panel)
 http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/festplattenschutz
 'tp-smapi' and 'hdapsd' work still very well but NONE of the gnome
  applets will work, neither with GNOME 3 nor Unity.

Use 'gnome-hdaps-osd' as replacement for 'gnome-hdaps-applet' (or
 'hdapsgl-applet') in order to get information about your HDD protection
 status.


Daemon script usage:

Run script:
 python gnome-hdaps-osd.py
after making executable
 ./gnome-hdaps-osd.py

Stop script:
 After running or starting it, stop it with the same command.
