Hi, First of all, thanks for this extension :). This patch tries to use `gksudo` or `sudo -A` to allow user to switch governor when there is no `cpufreq-selector` available, e.g., on Ubuntu 13.04. There is also a part using `pkexec`, but it does not work currently, because of a problem found elsewhere (i've included TODO comment with explanation). That's why it's commented for now. I've changed `cpuFreqSelectorPath` to `cpuFreqSelectorCommand`, to make it more flexible and usable for different commandlines. Hope it helps :). Regards, ahwayakchih
