It allows you to have feedback from KDE when using the Thinkpad buttons 
(volume, luminosity, light) and also it allows you to run given programs when 
you hit a button, like the blue Access BM button. It is like tpb but specific 
to the KDE environment (and much "prettier" IMHO).

As for the permissions /dev/nvram, if you use udev, you can change them in 
in /etc/udev/permissions.d either modify the existing 50-udev.permissions or 
create a new file which contain:

misc/nvram:root:root:0664

I hope this helps,

JP
