I've been mulling a fix for this myself, but not put code down yet. Here's some 
thoughts:

Would it be better to detect DPMS capabilities in the profile generator and 
keep the notification? I see it already detects the presence of batteries. And 
IIRC the kcm configuration page doesn't offer DPMS action settings if DPMS is 
not available.

The notification should remain, I think, as they're an indication of a real 
problem (either misconfiguration or a bug).

As for the ugly (and often too brief to read) passivepopup during login, is 
there a way to fix this centrally? Perhaps detecting that login is in progress 
(somehow) and queuing notifications for later?
