Power management problems! Toshiba L655 and the battery is recognised

Ok I finally got the battery in this thing to be recognised so that power management will allow me to set how to handle power setting when running off of the battery.
I'm running KDE 4.8.2
Here's the problem that I'm having now, when ever I'm running AC everything is fine and power management seems to work perfectly, however when I unplug the power adaptor and run from battery every thing works as expected until I plug the power adaptor back in. When plugging the power adaptor back in it appears as though the on AC profile setting never take effect, like its stuck on the running on battery profile instead of switching back to running on AC as expected!

Any help in solving this problem would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Do you have the acpid daemon in your /etc/rc.conf file and is it running?

Yes I do. It's one of things I did trying to solve the Toshiba acpi problem where linux claims there's no battery present.
