(Follow-up to bug #213807:)

After deinstalling sys-power/powersave and updating to
sys-power/kpowersave-0.7.3, at every suspend to ram an error message pops up: 

"Could not umount external media before suspend / standby. (Reason: Could not
call DCOP interface to umount external media.) Would you like to continue...?"

No external media are mounted, and suspend works if you click "Suspend anyway".
This is annoying anyway since it breaks "suspend when closing laptop"...

The background according to 
https://sourceforge.net/forum/message.php?msg_id=4304543
http://www.mail-archive.com/powersave-users@forge.novell.com/msg00127.html
is that kpowersave tries to call a DCOP method introduced by SuSE into kded
(which does not exist in kde-base/kdebase-3.5 (yet?)).

Possible fixes: 
* as KDE user, select "Do not show this message again" (does not keep other
people from reporting this again, ugly)
* set in 'kpowersaverc' the value of 'unmountExternalOnSuspend' to 'false'
(somehow systemwide?)
* newer kdebase / upstream / include some SuSE patch ??? don't know

Here's more info from Danny Kukawka, including a (possibly incomplete) patch
for the KDE sources:

thanks, I added those patches to kdebase and kdebase-kioslaves - but I did not
bump those, dont think it is important enough for a 30 minute recompile ;-)

Thank you for finding the patches and reporting :-)
