Presumably you have kde powerdevil installed and configured to enable 
power management.  I had it installed with an earlier version of kde4 so 
remember what it did, but don't have it installed now (on my main machine, 
desktop/workstation, I don't use my netbook so much and it's running an 
older kde4, with laptop-mode-tools installed and controlling all that, 
configured via text file, not kde), so can't give you much help in terms 
of where and what to configure to turn off its attempts to do that.

But that might at least give you some idea where to look.
