Have you managed to find out *why* PA was doing this? I suspect the devs 
might appreciate a bug report.

I'm no fan of PA for various other reasons, but I'd never have suspected 
it of acting as an auxilliary heater.

Given that hacking is quite fun (eg turning the HDAPS system into a 
joystick: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/HDAPS#Tilt_monitoring ),
how about writing a little applet to enable the "wrist-heater" for cold 
days (rather like heated handlebars on a motorbike)  ;-)
