This applet only shows me the current frequency which is always the
maximum.

I followed your proposal and placed
/usr/bin/echo ondemand >
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor in rc.local.

I did not change a thing. But I found the following in syslog:
localhost powersaved: enter 'speedstep_centrino' into CPUFREQD_MODULE in /etc/powersave/cpufreq.
localhost powersaved: Cannot load cpufreq governors - No cpufreq driver available

I have powersaved installed. Do I need any of the other cpufreq packages
installed, too?

Thanks for this hint. But I have not found out what it does exactly.
