+<para>This tab provides a screensaver-style interface to the APM
+suspend/standby modes. It allows you to configure different wait
+times and/or actions depending on whether or not your laptop is
+plugged into the wall. It's intended to be used in addition to the
+existing &kde; screensavers - you could for example disable
+suspend/standby when plugged in to the wall, but enable suspend with a
+shorter time than your normal screensaver kicks in while running on
+batteries.</para>
+
+<warning><para>Standby mode seems to do different things on different laptops -
+in particular on some it may not stay in standby mode and your laptop may be
+continually waking/sleeping if you leave it in this mode.</para></warning>
