+  <para>Use KPowersave, the KDE front-end to powersave, to control power

+ <title>Understanding the KPowersave Icon</title>
+   <para>
+    The KPowersave icon looks like a power plug next to a battery strength
+    indicator. The icon shows the current battery strength and whether the
+    computer is powered by the battery or the power supply. When the battery
+    power is low, the background of the icon flashes, orange for Warning 
+    and red for Low or Critical. If you leave the mouse cursor over the icon, a
+    message shows whether the computer is plugged in or using the battery, the
+    current charge level of the battery, and, if the computer is running on
+    battery power, the approximate amount of time left before the battery power
+    runs out.

+    You can also use this setting to create and edit blacklists for each
+    scheme. When creating a scheme blacklist, you can import the general
