So, in brief: you don't like Powerdevil's layout/UI but still want it to
switch between power management profiles.
I see the following options:
- You can use another applet/plasmoid -instead Powerdevil- to get the job
done (whether available).
- You can remove the package responsible for hibernation (swsusp/uswsusp)
to avoid the computer going into S4 state. I find this approach a little
radical, meaning I wouldn't take that path, but that is up to you.
Powerdevil just shows you the available features your kernel is detecting
and if the kernel can "suspend to ram" and "suspend to disk", Powerdevil
just displays both.
- You can just take care when clicking Powerdevil applet to avoid
pressing the wrong button. I find this the most suitable solution >:-)
