Thanks for trying that. I'd already noticed that the laptop would not
do anything when the lid was closed (i've raised a kacpi bug for
this), so it's possible i mis-remembered seeing the power management

I'm going to try it, just to rule out the kde components. But i've
used gnome before and was forced to junk it for fvwm when it became
too bloated for my (old) laptop. i've never been tempted to try it
again :-)
