I've uploaded a test version of a possible work-around to https://launchpad.net/~andreas-wenning/+archive . Go for the version 0.8.0svn20080103-0ubuntu17~ppa1 of kde-guidance-powermanager. Report back if this works for you. Remember that you need to restart the powermanager after installing a new version.
