Ok, then stop making programs just because you are afraid of computer crashing
in anytime. Seriously, this is just a flag to disable an unwanted feature,
there is no way it can crash nothing.

I'm not the only person asking for this option, this come from long time ago:

Of course I respect your opinions, what I don't respect is you design decision
on this very specific topic. And I believe that the way in which the the OSD is
designed is really bad.

Ok, then remove systemsetting and all it's components, it will made KDE easy to
maintain it isn't? So you are basically arguing against one of the pillar of
KDE, and the the reason why most people chooses it. I'm very disappointed.

These are my final words, I don't want to make this thread a flame, I just want
to have my changes integrated to Powerdevil.
