It seems that it can be reproduced consistently. I've tried on my
desktop and laptop. Both are updated from KDE 4.5.

Is the format of the resource file changed between 4.5 and 4.6? Maybe
there's a stale or bad .upd script which garbles the file.

I'll try to investigate further when I have time.

P.S: And also there's this "logout dialog appears very slowly" bug which
is quite common and annoying. It's assigned to you but I don't think
that it's really related to powermanagement. Can you investigate that
and reassign it if needed?
