About kpowersave, I have already a battery monitor applet, based on upower.
However, to replace kpowersave entirely will be difficult, because we have no
mechanism to control cpu governors (upower do not provide such function, and
as upower developers told me, will never do).

Could you focus on interfacing upower with kpowersave instead? udisks is
a dead end from what I have been reading, and I already have a very large
chunk of the needed generic udev interface, along with disk handling,
completed as of yesterday night. The funny thing is that the HAL dependency bug is
among the oldest open
bug reports on the tracker, dating back almost to the fork of KDE3.5.
It
is also one of the first things other desktops environments throw at us
to
claim that TDE is obsolete. This is high priority for me to fix, it has
been over 3 years and in all that time no one has had the requisite
expertise to repair it.
We have already suspend/hibernate support based on upower. Now I'm trying
to
replace HAL on mediamanager, using udisks2. This will take some time,
because
udisks2 is pretty new and is not very well documented.
