Got a new laptop, can't enable power management (see title)

I'm one of those emerge kdebase-startkde types. I've solved this problem before but can't recall how. I think I'm just missing a package, can't think what it is.

Any help much appreciated.

Do you have kde-base/powerdevil installed? Also I needed to install sys-power/upower-pm-utils for suspend/hibernate to show up in the menu

I have both installed.The problem is I can't start the service because the menu isn't there. All I have under "startup and shutdown" are autostart and session management.

Sorry I misunderstood your question. I thought that you meant you had no power managment menu in your kde system settings. If I understand you correctly you're saying that the service manager tab in the "startup and shutdown" menu is missing?
Do you have dbus running?

edit: also when I switched to KDE I found that I needed to add my user to the polkitd group for some options to be visible

That's it exactly.

Yes dbus is running.

Could it be the componentchooser module, part of kde-apps/kcontrol?

Code:
$ kcmshell4 --list | grep service
componentchooser           - Choose the default components for various services
kcm_kdnssd                 - Configure service discovery
kcmdolphinservices         - Configure file manager services


Code:

I've installed KDE on a few systems and never needed any special options.That menu has always been there for me although I do use I use kde-apps/kdebase-meta to pull in the packages. My last idea would be a missing use flag. Can I ask which system profile you have selected?

@markisthejob: The problem comes from using kde-base/kdebase-startkde which is missing a lot of dependencies compared to your kdebase-meta setup. No system profile or USE flag is going to fix that, but taking a look at the dependencies of kdebase-meta might help.
