Power management

Oli Grawert, on the ubuntu list, tells us we have to stop using ACPI and
start using the pm utilities, but I can't find any sign of a way to
_configure_ the pm utilities in KDE.

Is there such a beast?  guidance-power-manager not only doesn't let you
configure anything important, it does hibernation (actually resume) wrong
for my machine (no vbe POST after resume, resulting in the wrong screen
resolution).  The pm-* man page suggests that settings should be done by
gnome-power-manager in gnome, so I think I may actually install that just
to see if it really does let you set the bits that the man page
specifically says you shouldn't try to set manually.
