Thanks for the reply. The above command gives the remaining time in ms
(when the battery is discharging) or 0 (when AC is attached).

I tried to bring up another issue in #kde at chat.freenode.net: The
unlock screen has no stars or dots when typing the password to unlock,
but got no response, or missed the response because I have no time to
follow all the chatting there all day long to see if it contains a response to my
question. Is this really meant to substitute support by mail? If so, bad
times are upraising :-(
