Comments/Problems:
The installation went okay. The primary problems were with kde. I installed it after
rebooting into the new install. However, KDE when starting up a session would cause the machine
to shutdown since the laptop components were installed and claiming the machine was running out
of power. I fixed it by escaping to the console, stopping kdm, and doing a "startx". The laptop
kde config generated was still as in previous case, however it didn't kill the machine in this case.
(An interesting behavior of the kdm stop was that is caused a right-to-left display of type, i.e.
the mirror of the standard left-to-right.) I was able to configure that session so that the laptop
applet was disabled and then copied it (~/.kde/share/config/kcmlaptoprc) to whatever kde config
needed it.
The session close complains about an openoffice component being left open when openoffice has never
been touched.
