*facepalm* Let's try to answer this concern once at all: the possibility of editing profiles will NOT be thrown away. To make it easier, here's how the new config UI will work. Take a new KDE installation, open the profile configuration dialog, and forget about the actions at the bottom of the list (new profile, delete profile, etc.). That's pretty much how the UI will look like: you will have 3 profiles, one for each state (AC, Battery, Low Battery) you can configure to your purposes. In addition, you have a separate section where you can override some settings based on which activity you are in. It's exactly like it is now, except you can not MANUALLY change the profile (e.g. by using the applet) > > Andreas -- ------------------- Dario Freddi KDE Developer GPG Key Signature: 511A9A3B
