Currently, to change the settings for the computer to automatically dim the display when inactive, a user has to navigate to System Settings > Advanced > Power Management > Edit Profiles.

Depending on the tasks at hand, I find myself needing to change this setting quite often. Easy access to this setting, probably through the taskbar power settings, would be very useful for me.

(Using Kubuntu 8.10 w/ KDE 4.2.1)

There's a slider for adjusting brightness in the battery plasmoid. Is that what you're looking for?

Not exactly - but I just realized I've been using a different (older?) battery widget in the System Tray. I can work around the dim settings issue using profiles using the battery widget, so I guess that solves my problem. Thanks though!
