Redoing the displayconfig back end to work with xrandr and modern 
xorg.conf'less systems is a critical piece.  I don't see significant value 
in a KDE4 port of displayconfig.

From what I've been reading, it sounds like many of the currently missing 
bits in the kcmrandr tool have been added in 4.2.

Guidance power manager still works pretty well (that's been ported 
already).  It could stand some re-enginnering on the back end as I don't 
think it's entirely in synch with modern hal/dbus magic.

AFAIK, the Kubuntu plan for 9.04 is to switch to powerdevil.
