A partial answer to self:
It turns out that the problem was caused by HAL not running. However, it is not enough to start hald (HAL daemon) from within TDE and then starting KPowerSave. For things to work properly hald must be started before logging into TDE.
That being said, how do I make hald start during system boot? I have hald binary in /usr/sbin but I am missing startup scripts in /etc/init.d. During Good Old Times it was enough to create a script that run the required command and place that script in directory corresponding to a given runlevel (in case of Debian this would be /etc/rc5.d). But this does not seem to work. Does anyone have a script that starts up hald and could perhaps post it to the list?

Hi all,
I have TDE 3.5.13.2 installed on Debian 7.10. Some time ago (probably after one of security updates) my KPowerSave stopped working - it does not allow me to set power scheme nor does it recognize whether the laptop is running on battery or A/C. These features still work in other programs (eg. htop recognizes whether I am running on battery or A/C, I can use cpufreq-set to set CPU speed) so this is not a system-wide breakage. Does anyone have any ideas what might be wrong?
