For now I've kludged around this by adding a resume script that HUPs
ksysguardd.  That allwos the battery modeule [un]load to proceed and
"fixes" the problem.

For the more knowledgable on KDE and HAL:  Is there an effor/way, and
would it make sense, to have processes like ksysguardd not go directly
to the /proc/acpi filesystem for hardware monitoring of events?  Are
there equivalent HAL APIs?
