Review request for Solid.


Changes
-------

Put notification back in.
The DPMS action now always gets compiled. All actions available will be added to the ActionPool, otherwise if PowerDevil finds an action in the config file that is not in the ActionPool, it will issue a notification. Instead, we - which we already always did - rely on the isSupported() property of the action to determin whether we should execute it and show it in the KCM.


Description
-------

That message usually appears when starting before the Desktop is up, causing an ugly 1990's passivepopup dialog on the screen, and its contents are not really novice-user-resolvable.
On my machine it always claims "The profile Battery tried to activate DPMSControl which is a non-existent action.", which is when I compile powerdevil myself that DPMS stuff is not compiled (DPMS build requirements not met here) and so the action floats around in the config but cannot be triggered anyways. (Imho this is a really infamous message, have seen it quite often on other machines *duck*). All the other actions seem to be installed anyways, so this missing action poses no threat. I guess a kWarning would be sufficient for this.


Diffs (updated)
-----

  powerdevil/daemon/actions/CMakeLists.txt db9ca47 
  powerdevil/daemon/powerdevilactionpool.cpp 484c271 

Diff: http://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/106863/diff/


Testing
-------

Compiles.
The previous passivepopup does not appear anymore. Did not test whether the kwarning is triggered, though. (Dunno how to get powerdevil debug console output)


Thanks,

Kai Uwe Broulik
