I've installed kpowersave today, and it seems quite nice. I'm using suspend2 [S2], however, together with the hibernate script, and I needed a quite hackish solution to be able to hibernate from kpowersaved. That bit is easier with klaptopdaemon. Also, it seems to have been written for SuSE, one of the warning dialogues I ran across mentions /etc/sysconfig/... which we of course don't have. Other than that, kpowersaved looks great, and I'd like to see it in Kubuntu Dapper. I think with some minor changes, it would be a nice replacement for klaptopdaemon, which is pretty much unmaintained.
