I don't know the exact answer to this question, but as a 
troubleshooting tool, try creating a new user (Dog menu -> System 
Settings -> Users and Groups). If the problem is truly due to your 
customizations, and not to a global setting, this new user should sleep 
normally.

What about KLaptop? Right-click on the panel, choose Panel Menu -> Add 
-> Applet -> System Tray -- I know, "System Tray" doesn't sound like 
"Battery Monitor" to me, either. This is Linux, remember? :-)

Best wishes,
