[Kyle Gordon]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: kde-guidance-powermanager

Hi,

On Kubuntu Hardy x86, Dell D820 laptop, updated to most recent version,
guidance-power-manager crashes every time on startup. This has been
happening for several months now.

Error in sys.excepthook:

Original exception was:
