Ok, there are number of issues:
Note: I'm trying to retranslate the captions of the application from German 
back to English, so may not be correct.

1)  What is the difference between 
a) Energy Controls (Energiekontrolle) -> Not plugged in (Nicht Eingesteckt) 
and 
b) Standard Power Profiles (Standard Stromprofile) -> Not plugged in (Nicht 
Eingesteckt)
Both offer CPU Throttling.

2) At 1a: what does Waiting (Warten) means?

3) If I try to use automatic throttling with 1a it never works.

4) If I try to use automatic throttling with 1b it sometimes works. I think it 
set the correct throttling if I change the KLaptop settings, but it changes 
nothing when I just change the power status.

5) /proc/acpi/ac_adapter/AC/state gives the correct state.

So far, these are my questions. The notebook is a Dell Inspiron 8600 with 
Pentium M Dothan processor. Kernel is 2.6.9 self compiled on a recent Gentoo 
box. If you need kernel configs, please just ask me.

Thanks,

Florian
