This is actually plain wrong in the first place - applications should not resort to those tricks, especially because there is no guarantee that the user actually has a Presentation profile. From KDE 4.6, there is a dedicated API for disabling power management in the proper way - see http://api.kde.org/4.x-api/kdelibs-apidocs/solid/html/namespaceSolid_1_1PowerManagement.html#a8e57cb221d71c3795ebdafe0a7deae4e and http://api.kde.org/4.x-api/kdelibs-apidocs/solid/html/namespaceSolid_1_1PowerManagement.html#a4ee616be33c3455d47039665a42aec33 Bangarang developers probably want to use those functions instead of doing what they do now. To the reporter: mind copying this comment to the original bug report? Thanks much for the pointer Dario. We used what methods that were available at the moment, without any attempt at trickery. We're happy to be able change to what will become available in the upcoming KDE 4.6 release. Again, thanks much for the pointer. peace and much respect, Andrew Hi Andrew, very cool, but remember: if you have any needs on the powermanagement side, even some new feature wishes, feel free to ask me - you have my mail, you know where to catch me ;) Keep up the good work |
