updatedb is disabled by default? Was this intentional?
Yes, it was even documented in the FC4t2 release notes.

slocate database
The database needed by the locate utility is no longer created by
default. Enable the database creation by setting DAILY_UPDATE to
"yes" in /etc/updatedb.conf if you want to use locate.

and the next step would be that i have to check and edit all config
files in /etc/cron.daily/
prelink, makewhatis, rpm, yum, logrotate, tmpwatch, ...
after every update in every new release ??
I think we should have something like an extended anacron that would
run maintentance tasks (makewhatis, prelink, updatedb) if the computer
is not running on battery, in addition to "always run updatedb" and
"never run updatedb". But I'm not sure I'll be able to work on this
in time for FC4.

afair the gnome-power-manager could be a solution for fc5
see
https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-test-list/2005-April/msg00154.html
http://gnome-power.sourceforge.net/
and
pete zaitcev telinit 4 "running on battery"
http://www.livejournal.com/users/zaitcev/21605.html
personally, i find the idea with runlevel 4 not bad (runlevel 7-9 are
not defined too)
you could define services for this runlevel you really need while
running on battery
or boot into runlvel 4 if you know that you need a long battery
or as a solution for fastboot.
apropos, X in runlevel 4 via the /etc/inittab
x:4:respawn:/etc/X11/prefdm -nodaemon
