Hello Oswald,

I am a little surprise by the tone of your answer! Maybe you should think about
improving that when dealing with users and their problems...

I did NOT play with any KDE variable at all, this is a completely standard KDE
4.6.0 + OpenSUSE 11.4 installation. You are free to replace the
'/usr/share/kde4/config/' path that OpenSUSE is using with the KDE default, and
the bug report should still be valid.

I am a mere KDE user and I can confirm that there exists no possibility to my
knowledge to create a default powerprofile configuration file for a machine! At
least I was unable to find any documentation on how this would be done (at the
time I reported the bug). I did not do any further investigations on this
issue. Thus, in our environment we restrict the corresponding power settings
using a USER configuration file within the USER home (which I think is not a
satisfying solution).

So in order to help you find the problem: This is the line that is used to load
the powerprofiles config (found here
http://web.archiveorange.com/archive/v/bZBuSnCELwh2U5VafyAi):
------
KSharedConfig::openConfig("powerdevilprofilesrc", KConfig::SimpleConfig);
------

Googling the "KConfig::SimpleConfig" term
(http://api.kde.org/4.x-api/kdelibs-apidocs/kdecore/html/classKConfig.html#ad1f23964bbf8c11449e92a2596d15f7ea53b71a3aab71b05e8c4a6906ae647052),
 reveals that this means "Just a single config file". So it looks like there is
no config cascading done here!?

Maybe this is now *enoughinfo* for *somebody* to investigate this...
