klaptopdaemon on kde, perhaps.

Having both loaded caused problems here, but... you can't remove the 
"power manager" package as kubuntu-desktops depends on it <sigh>, and 
since you can't switch it off either - at least, I couldn't discover how 
to - you'll need to remove the persistence script in 
/usr/share/autostart.

Power management nose dived in edgy, ime.
