\mainpage KPowersave - a KDE Kickerapplet/fontend for Powermanagement
\section intro_sec Introduction
	KPowersave provides battery monitoring and suspend/standby triggers.
	It is based on HAL and D-Bus and therefore supports APM, ACPI and PMU.

	is not running) and the YaST Powermanagement module it is the preferred package
