greets! Slavek's updates got my kpowersave utility running again (I include the relevant post below) but I've a new issue. if I boot into the desktop, the kpowersave utility (on the kicker bar) offers little more than 'help' and 'quit'. to get the full configuration options I have to close and re-open the kde session. so how to get the full kpowersave without having to close and re-open the session?
