| The existing klaptopdaemon uses obsolete technologies and is hard to maintain. The alternative kpowersave duplicates a lot of the power management support included in Ubuntu and exposed through HAL, this would make it very hard to support and it conflicts with Ubuntu packages.

Summary
Write a power management tool for KDE based on HAL.
Rationale
The existing klaptopdaemon uses obsolete technologies and is hard to maintain. The alternative kpowersave duplicates a lot of the power management support included in Ubuntu and exposed through HAL, this would make it very hard to support and it conflicts with Ubuntu packages. So we will write a new frontend to HAL.
Use cases
Maisie wants to suspend her laptop but it doesn't work currently with Kubuntu because klaptopdaemon uses an obsolete method to detect if suspend is possible.
Rhuaridh wants to change the brightness of his laptop but finds that klaptopdaemon has no option to do this.
Boab wants to install kpowersave as the only reliable way to get power management in Kubuntu but finds this uninstalls several Ubuntu power management packages.
Scope
KDE frontend to the properties exposed by HAL. Any laptop specific issues should be solved below HAL.
