@Tom
Thankyou for pointing out powertop2. It allows for more control than the
original powertop. The URL in the PKGBUILD is not correct because of
kernel.org's changes. Googling for a new location was easy enough.
@Mauro
Thankyou for the information.

Downgrading to kernel 3.0.4-1 restored power estimates. Older kernels had always worked in the past.
Processor is Intel i3, quad core, in a ThinkPad Edge 14 running Gnome 3.2 fully upgraded daily.
Have you tried with powertop2 instead? powetop is not maintained any longer, so we should probably get around to updating to powertop2 at some point... (I have been meaning to).
