[gentoo-user] Clean shutdown of laptop possible after migration to KDE4?

[gentoo-user] Clean shutdown of laptop possible after migration to KDE4?

[Erik]

After migrating to KDE4 it seems like the laptop just dies when the
battery becomes empty. In KDE3 I could set klaptopdaemon to warn when
the estimated remaining battery time is 15 minutes and begin a clean
shutdown when it is 10 minutes. It worked very well. Is it somehow
possible to get a clean shutdown in KDE4? I do not want to loose a
filesystem because of it.

Unfortunately I do not seem to have it. All that I have under System
Settings -> Advanced is:
Adapt the desktop theme
Automatic start
Device actions
Filebindings
Fetch from CDDB
Hardware
KDE-wallet
KDE-resources
Session manager
Desktop search
Service manager
-------------------------------------
Login manager

Which package should I install?

Off hand, I have no idea :-)

What version of KDE did you install? Do you use -meta packages, or sets?

Please supply all the usual info - emerge -pv output with USE flags etc

No, but now I tried "emerge -pv kdebase-meta" and it gave me a list of
23 packages that I did not have installed, among them powerdevil, which
seems to be the one.
