Some "update" on this with 4.6.0-0.1 
a)powersaving - it changes default value in powermanagement profiles. Now it 
switches computer to sleep even in performance profile. I left my computer in 
office running, so I could connect from home and finish some work as usual, but 
when I needed to connect, computer was sleeping. This change should be cared 
of at least for kde 4.6.0 updates in F-14

b)backlight
When second session terminates, first session backlight is set to (almost?) 
zero despite both first and second session backlight was set the same (about 80 
% ). (ati hw)
