power manager in 4.2

[Thomas Gillespie]

Hi all

I developed kde4powersave, and then was contacted by Dario Freddi, who ported 
the code to a kded daemon and kcm etc... and i volunteered to do the plasmoid. 
However, my laptop died just before i started developing this (broken 
backlamp, ironic for someone working on brightness controls XD ), so for me 
development of power management based stuff is on hold until Pc World stop 
being a**es (my desktop has basically nothing in the way of power saving). If 
anyone else fancies working on the plasmoid (maybe dataengine as well, i dunno 
if dario started on that) then they are perfectly welcome to. A start may be 
to look at the battery plasmoid in the current plasma and just add some bits 
and bobs. Sorry I can't be much more help, I'll be glad to join in development 
again when my laptop is better :-)
