Hi Jon, this sounds very similar to my problem. You can find it here:

https://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2711

In my case, it is the acpi daemon itself which does not seem to be
functioning correctly. I am not sure whether the fact that yours works
in kde means that the problems are different.

yours, Matt
