kpowermanager problem

Hi all!

I just ran into an interesting problem with kpowermanger (fresh installed wheezy + TDE 3.5.13.2):

when I have my testuser configured to "autologin" and has "kpowermanager" aktivated, then - on the first autologin, kpowermanager does not work, i.e. it shows a dithered plug symbol. - testuser logs out and automaticaly logs in again: "kpowermanager" works as intended.

Is there an easy workaround instead of logging out the first time? Could somebody with a deeper insight in TDE internals guide me to debug the problem?
