The same user had another problem. Because he did not read the complete
documentation, especially the Debian specific details, he missed the
part where the documentation says, that in order to access powersaved
via dbus as a regular user, he has to add them to a special group
(that's how I handle access control under Debian, as there is no
pam_console).
The resulting error message of powersave or kpowersave is
"Cannot connect to powersaved. Is the daemon running? (dbus error)".
To be honest, I myself wouldn't have guessed that this means, I don't
have access rights for powersaved.
Is it possible to tell from the return code of dbus what the correct
problem is and display the error message in (k)powersave
correspondingly? If you give me some pointers where to start and look
at, I might take a look at it myself, if you are too busy.

Cheers,
Michael
