OK OK I am going blind. I have looked through the popup menu for KDE 4.1.1  until I turned green but I do not see Network Manager.

yumex says it is installed...maybe it is a gnome thing

I found network config and network device control but no network manager.

I could not find kpowersave except in the system tray as a power plug icon.

kpowersave had options relating to the screensaver
