Comment 27 for bug 65791

There must be a more complete way of just simply castrating kdebase of kenergy altogether, since its functionality is all done by guidance, and heck kenergy isn't even user-visible in any fashion.

I'd rather see that happen than any of the workarounds posted this far.

I still have an inclination towards my method as a workaround if the ideal solution takes too long because I don't think kenergy should be calling DPMSSetTimeouts at all; in Kubuntu it's none of kenergy's business.

Either way, please consider a fix and release to SRU in a timely manner because this is one of the more annoying regressions that KUbuntu edgy has generated.
