Summary
Edgy has several improvements (see KubuntuLaptopButtons and KubuntuPowerManagement spec) in laptop support that brings laptop support to comparable level with Ubuntu. For Feisty, we need to polish the solution to get to great out-of-the-box experience on Kubuntu laptop.

BoF agenda and discussion
- Suspend/Hibernate laptop button support
- Power laptop button support (offer logout dialog?)
- Powermanager: more configuration options
Lock before suspend/hibernate ([https://launchpad.net/bugs/64650 #64650]
- Actions on keyboard events
- Powermanager should be event driven and not polling HAL
- Powermanager should be able to do automatic actions if machine is idle for X minutes
- Reconsider KPowersave status in Kubuntu (next version will work directly with HAL like Guidance Power-manager)
Consider infrastructure improvements (uswsusp, supend to ram -> then disk)
