When I try to start 'Setup helper application' under the tab ACPI config in KDE Control Center -> Power Control -> Laptop Battery I get this following error message:

The /usr/kde/3.5/bin/klaptop_acpi_helper application does not seem to have the same size or checksum as when it was compiled we do NOT recommend you proceed with making it setuid-root without further investigation

Reproducible: Always

I just tried klaptopdeamon 3.5.6. But I get exactly the same message :(. What does it mean? Is it safe to continue?

Thanks for testing and confirming that the problem was caused by stripping the 
binaries. Fixed in CVS.

If stripping would be the problem, "split-debug" would have also have had to be restricted as well - both in klaptopdaemon and kdeutils. The real problem is the braindead check, though.

New ebuild revisions do not perform the check anymore.

Thanks for solving this!
