An article about my experiences installing Kubuntu onto a Lenovo ThinkPad R52

Ongoing problems
s2d, hibernate, whatever
Right clicking the power meter and then selecting Hibernate does seem to hibernate, but then pressing the power button starts a boot, does some swusp thing and then stalls. I can't do anything then except hold the power button until it turns off, then do a normal boot.
Battery life
Doesn't seem to last quite as long as in Windows. Perhaps there is room for tweaking the powersaving features?
Workarounds
kbluetoothd
I get the following every few seconds in ~/.xsession-errors while bluetooth is disabled:
kbluetoothd: Bind failed: No such device kbluetoothd: HciSocket::open() kbluetoothd: Bind failed: No such device kbluetoothd: HciSocket::open()
If I enable bluetooth (Fn+F5) then the problem goes away (and bluetooth seems to work, though I can't really tell as I have no other bluetooth devices!), but this will drain my battery.
How do I tell KDE to not bother trying to use bluetooth until it's turned on?
http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-76759.html advises editing ~/.kde/share/config/kbluetoothdrc to read AutoStart=false and then starting kbluetoothd manually when needed.
It would be nice if it could start automatically when bluetooth is enabled and die when it's not, though.
