There is, in fact, a "System" item in this menu, but no "preferences" sub item. There is an item "kpowersave", which invokes (reasonably enough) kpowersave. Here's all I know about it. $ kpowersave --help Usage: kpowersave [Qt-options] [KDE-options] [options] KDE Frontend for Power Management, Battery Monitoring and Suspend An instance of it is running on my system right now, but there's no evidence of it on the monitor.
