[SOLVED] How to Auto-Login with KDE on a Laptop

I've configured auto-login on KDE 4.2 by editing the /usr/share/config/kdm/kdmrc (I turned on AutoLoginEnable and AutoLoginAgain, and specified AutoLoginUser and AutoLoginPass). It works great for turning on the computer, but if I close the laptop and reopen it, it prompts me for the password anyway... Is there a way I can enable auto-login after hibernation/standby mode too? Thanks in advance!

Run kdesu/sudo systemsettings, and set from there.

You need to disable that in powedevil settings!
Look at your power-profiles!
