Can you see if acpid is installed?

$ rpm -q acpid

if not, install it:
yum install acpid
and reboot, and see if that makes a difference.

Comment 2 Jaroslav Barton 2008-11-04 20:01:15 UTC

Acpid is already installed.

$ rpm -q acpid
acpid-1.0.6-8.fc10.x86_64

Comment 4 Bug Zapper 2008-11-26 04:46:12 UTC

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 10 development cycle.
Changing version to '10'.

Thank you for the bug report.  This issue needs to be addressed by the upstream developers.  Please submit a report at http://bugs.kde.org. You are requested to add the bugzilla link here for tracking purposes. Please make sure the bug isn't already in the upstream bug tracker before filing it.
