Anyway, I'll solve this problem on my system by writing to wakeup
property on device attach. Consider my change abandoned.

That seems like the best approach.

Do you think this could be added to the USB configuration tool I wrote
last week?

I don't see why not.  It's exactly the sort of thing that should be 
handled on a per-user basis.

In the longer run, we might consider that this properties may also need
to be changed based on AC vs. DC or the battery's charge level.

Is that really true?  I'm not sure -- in general people want their 
computers to be consistent.  In particular, they want to conserve power 
regardless of the power source.

However, you could add such a mechanism to the program in case some 
people do want to use it.
