Are you sure it's kpowersave and not guidance-power-manager?

In any case, you have to add the battery plasmoid by hand, and either disable 
or just rpm -e guidance-power-manager. It will also be like that in updated 
F10 installations, we aren't going to force a different power management 
solution in an update. On the other hand, F11 will default to PowerDevil and 
the battery plasmoid.

Rex, maybe it makes sense to kick guidance-power-manager (and kpowersave if 
present, but I doubt it is) out of the KDE 4.2 images? (kdebase-workspace 
will then automatically default to the battery plasmoid, Than's hack only 
disables it if guidance-power-manager is present.)
