Good afternoon, Alan.
I don't have anything like that, either in KDE or Gnome, in FC5 or F7.
In F7 the closest thing I have is:
Settings->Power Control->Laptop Battery
... which just seems to apply if I'm running a laptop (I'm not), and anyway
there isn't anything there that does power control. I click on the "Power
Control" tab and I get: "Your computer seems to have a partial ACPI
installation, ACPI was probably enabled, but some of the sub-options were
not - you need to enable at least 'AC Adapter' and 'Control Method Battery'
and then rebuild your kernel.".
I'm running the stock 2.6.21-.3228.fc7 kernel.
In FC5 / KDE I can find nothing at all that looks like it has anything to
do with power control (this is also on a desktop machine, not laptop, with
kernel 2.6.17-1.2157_FC5).
If you have Preferences->More Preferences->Power Management on yours, could
you please right click on it and let me know what application it calls up
(presumably in /sbin or /usr/sbin)? Then I can try calling it up from the
command line (if I have it).
