[newbie] What's "kapm-idled"?

[Dan Ray]

Every now and then gkrellm reports that my CPU is totally pegged for some 
length of time. I see from 'top' that the culprit is something called 
'kapm-idled'. 

Guessing from the second word of that, I'd say it's a daemon that's 
preventing "kapm" from running while the machine is in use. So, two 
observations: 1) I don't know what kapm is. Is it related to APM? 2) If I'm 
guessing write about the purpose of "idled", it doesn't seem to be working...

Any input would be interesting!  Thanks!
