/home/<username>/.config/powermanagementprofilesrc is the correct file, iirc

As it keeps getting reverted back to its original settings, it sounds like the 
config file may have had it's ownership changed.  One way this can happen is  
by running gui config tools (such as System Settings) or other graphical 
programs,  using sudo. 

If you right-click on the file, and look at the permissions, ownership should 
be set to your user for both  User and Group sections. If it is not set 
correctly, you can either delete the file (it will be recreated at next 
login), or change the ownership of it.
