Try attaching gdb to the runaway tdepowersave process--that should at
least show you where it is stuck.

Here is where the tdepowersave generates all the error
(TQEventLoop::activateTimers) :

From what you posted earlier this is a dbus-related problem. I don't
recognize the error messages, so I don't think it's coming from code I
wrote. :-)
Slavek, did you change tdepowersave to include more dbus support in the
past few months?
Thanks!
