When clicking on the system tray icon, and clicking configure kpowersave, a warning dialog comes up saying cannot find any schemes, and nothing more. There should be a dialog to create the schemes from my understanding. Reproducible: Always
Have you tried this?: - stop kpowersave - mv ~/.kde/share/config/kpowersaverc ~/.kde/share/config/kpowersaverc.old - start kpowersave Are you running >=sys-apps/hal-0.5.8? If this problem still exists, please post the output of "qlist kpowersave" (if not available, emerge portage-utils) and "emerge --info".

(In reply to comment #4) I have done this, but still no success...

I have the same problem, but if I start kpowersave as root, everything works as expected. By the Way, why does the ebuild depend on powersave? As far as I know, kpowersave uses hal now and everything (except the problem described here) works fine without powersave...
I masked this for now. Will wait for the next release to see if this gets fixed.
i had the same problem with sys-apps/hal-0.5.7.1-r5 and sys-power/kpowersave-0.6.2 the solution was to add the desktop-user to the group "users" (see /etc/dbus-1/system.d/powersave.conf). no version upgrade was necessary.

One way around the configure error is chmod 755 /usr/share/config dir.
