Good afternoon, Alan.

I don't have anything like that, either in KDE or Gnome, in FC5 or F7.

In F7 the closest thing I have is:

Settings->Power Control->Laptop Battery

... which just seems to apply if I'm running a laptop (I'm not), and anyway 
there isn't anything there that does power control.  I click on the "Power 
Control" tab and I get: "Your computer seems to have a partial ACPI 
installation,  ACPI was probably enabled, but some of the sub-options were 
not - you need to enable at least 'AC Adapter' and 'Control Method Battery' 
and then rebuild your kernel.".

I'm running the stock 2.6.21-.3228.fc7 kernel.

In FC5 / KDE I can find nothing at all that looks like it has anything to 
do with power control (this is also on a desktop machine, not laptop, with 
kernel 2.6.17-1.2157_FC5).

If you have Preferences->More Preferences->Power Management on yours, could 
you please right click on it and let me know what application it calls up 
(presumably in /sbin or /usr/sbin)?  Then I can try calling it up from the 
command line (if I have it).

You can see it in several ways.  On FC7 default (GNOME)

System -> Preferences -> System -> Power Management 
and
System -> Preferences -> Look and Feel -> Screensaver -> Power management

On KDE you can right Click on the desktop or go to Control Panel and configure Display from there, either Enable Power Mangement or uncheking it and the Screensaver as well.  

Regards,

Antonio
