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).
On FC6 it's exact as stated and it is a power control for a laptop.
In F7 they must call it a laptop :-)
