I have the problem that kpowersave often does not allow me to change the CPU frequency behaviour (performance/dynamic/save energy) on a freshly booted system. The corresponding list items are simply greyed out.

However, I can get this to work by doing the following:
- Logout, then login again with the same user.
- Turn off autologin. After booting, wait until all hard disk activity stops, then login.

It does _not_ work if I do the following:
- restart powersaved
- restart kpowersave

It seems that some KDE component gets started before the powersaved is loaded and gets confused because powersaved is not there. As a result, restarting powersaved/kpowersave does not help but restarting KDE or just waiting before you start KDE does help. I guess the GUI should simply not be started before powersaved is loaded.
