klaptopdaemon is quite horrible code-wise, so it's good to consider removing 
it.

I've installed kpowersave today, and it seems quite nice. I'm using suspend2 
[S2], however, together with the hibernate script, and I needed a quite 
hackish solution to be able to hibernate from kpowersaved. That bit is easier 
with klaptopdaemon.

Also, it seems to have been written for SuSE, one of the warning dialogues I 
ran across mentions /etc/sysconfig/... which we of course don't have.

Other than that, kpowersaved looks great, and I'd like to see it in Kubuntu 
Dapper. I think with some minor changes, it would be a nice replacement for 
klaptopdaemon, which is pretty much unmaintained.
