But my current laptop has the resources for kde or gnome, so i'd prefer to stay put for the moment. In any case, i installed gnome as suggested, created a new user and logged into a gnome session. Hey presto, the power management works as it should. so i logged out and logged in again as the new user but with kde and the power management failed. Logged out and in again to the gnome session and it worked again. By "worked" i mean the icon changed after a short time and an information dialog was displayed. So I think this is a kde problem.
