I wanted to completely shut off "Battery
Polling", and I was under the

That
didn't effect the nibbling at the hard drive every second,
I believe KDE is also checking cd-trays, and the like, regularly to check if
something like a harddrive was attached (this is how they then inform you
about a recently attached device and ask you how to open it). I am not sure
where you turn it off, but I am sure it is possible to do so somewhere.
But I did hear from someone that this desktop feature can cause xruns from
time to time...
sincerely,
