            Bug ID: 323840
           Summary: Disabling power management service (startup/shutdown)
                    also disables window manager activity capabilities
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: kde
           Version: 4.11.0
          Platform: openSUSE RPMs
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: apc at andypotter.org

If the power management service in the startupo/shutdown service-manager
settings is disabled, after reboot all windows no longer have the option to
change activities via right mouse click in the title bar. In addition all
windows operate as if they are unaware that they are assigned to particular
activities and show up in all activities.

I stumbled upon this bug because I have a desktop and wanted to eliminate many
of the annoying messages in the system log referring to system power options
which seemed only appropriate for a laptop.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Configure Desktop Application
2. Open "Startup and Shutdown" options under System Administration
3. Navigate to "Service Manager" and disable "Poswer management" in the pane
window services
4. Reboot the system
5. Right click on the title bar of any window and the option to manage the
window's activity are missing
6. Also switching activities results in all current windows being displayed in
the new activity
7. Repeat steps 1-4 to and activate power management, then the activity
management options and activity awareness of the windows is operating again.


Expected Results:  
I would expect that power management should have noting to do with the activity
awareness of the windows.

This was also the case in KDE 4.10.5
