Hi Thomas, I'm afraid there is no replacement currently, the overall situation is a bit of a mess. Lukas Tinkl is currently working on a proper replacement for the Solid::PowerManagement stuff, called solid-power, which will have the appShouldConserveResources thingie like the old one. PowerDevil queries that stuff from the platform directly (eg. upower on dbus has an "onBattery" property).
In the meantime use the stuff provided by Kdelibs4support. Sorry for the inconvenience, Kai Uwe >> Visit http://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-devel#unsub to unsubscribe <<
