Did you removed kde-guidance-powermanager package? It looks somewhat similar to bug 72233.

"displayconfig" works for me - so the initial bug report seems to be fixed.

But I've reported the segmentation fault mentioned above: bug 103470

It seems to depend on the default python setup:

    import ixf86misc
