Hello,

I try to configure PowerSave on my laptop. Looking to the screen field 
names and the description in Power Management documentation I have a 
number of question.

1	Power Profiles

a	Display Brightness
	This sets the initial Display Brightness for the Profile involved?
b	Dim Display
	The documentation say: If checked, the display will be progressively
	dimmed, until reaching brightness 0, in the amount of time you specify
	in the spin box. The screen names suggests: Dim Display after x minutes
	What should it be?
c	Screen Energy Saving
	The doumentation say: Here you can define power saving for your
	monitor. The check box defines if DPMS support should be enabled or
	disabled. If you choose to activate it, set the timeouts in the spin
	boxes below. The screen names suggests: Screen Energy Saving.Switch
	off after x minutes.
	What is the activation point of actual Screen Energy Saving: x minutes
	after the	profile has become active or x minutes of no keyboard/mouse
	activity.?  What will undo Screen Energy Saving ?? 
d	Suspend Session
	The documentation say: Suspends the session after the selected time to
	the status Sleep, Hibernate, Shutdown or Lock screen. The screen names
	suggests: Suspend Session After x minutes
	What is the activation point of actual Suspend Session:  x minutes
	after the	profile has become active or x minutes of no keyboard/mouse
	activity.?  
e	Button Events Handling
	No question
f	Disable Desktop Effects
	The documentation say: KWin compositing will be disabled, if active. It
	will be re-enabled when a profile that does not have this option gets
	loaded. The screen names suggests: Disable effects On Profile Load or
	After x minutes.
	What is the activation point of actual Disable Desktop Effects: On
	profile load or or x minutes after profile load?. 
g	Run Script
	The documentation say: Activate this option to run a custom script when
	a profile is loaded, unloaded or after a given amount of time. The
	screen names suggests: Run Script On Profile Load or On Profile Unload
	or After x minutes.
	What is the activation point of the Run Script: On Profile Load or On
	Profile Unload or After x minutes of Profile Load 

2	Global Settings
	
a	Advanced Battery Settings
	The documentation say: Defines the action that will be done when
	battery reaches the critical level. The screen names suggests: When
	battery remaining is critical Do Nothing, Hibernate, Sleep or Shutdown
	The activation point is: When the battery reach the critical level !!

Regards / Groeten,

	Frans
