Current kde from unstable is a bad idea for a laptop imho, because for some
reason, plasma-desktop permanently pulls some % of cpu time, therefore
ruining battery life.

Dietz, I'm running KDE from unstable and I don't have that problem (I've had kwin/xorg using excessive CPU before but not plasma-desktop and not now). In fact, I'm currently getting about the lowest power usage I've ever had from my laptop with full KDE + compositing!
