In my case, it was because I didn't have hald_enable=YES in /etc/rc.conf. So I 
logged out of KDE, switched to vt0, logged in as root, started hald by hand, 
logged back in to KDE, and got no warning-message, and the power-management 
KCM worked normally.

Inside a KDE session, you can check for hald (which is what powerdevil does 
too) as follows:

	qdbus --system | grep -i hal

The output should be (at least):

	org.freedesktop.Hal
