Hi,
I am on a Gnome desktop and so can not help you with KDE.
But I think you should try Gnome as well (they can co-exist).
You will get to know it (I am a convert from KDE myself) and at the same time
see if your power and battery work correctly.
Try it:
# [root <at> localhost jb]# yum grouplist |grep -i gnome
# yum groupinstall "GNOME Desktop Environment"

Hi,
I have installed a fresh KDE desktop environment and without any changes in
settings can confirm that power cord pull out and plug in change battery icon
and display a popup message about the corresponding event.
So it is about your machine and KDE.
Look at Applications-Settings-System Settings-Advanced tab-Power Management .
I repeat my invitation to a Gnome desktop - you will be glad you did it :-) .
System-Preferences-Power Management .
