[newbie] What is "kapm-idle"?

[hellmut]

Hi!

I just found out about the next resource hungry process: kapm-idle! This
little evil thing always gets PID 3 and can not be killed. And I haven't
found any daemon which starts it, so can anyone please tell me what the
heck it does? And much more important: How the hell do I switch it off
forver?
