Fourth Icon from the left is for Nautilus.  I've been through all the
beasties that appear to be for configuration and nothing jumped out at
me with names like Power...

I'm using Gnome, no KDE due to disk constraints.  

The Mandrake control center doesn't appear to have any such entry for
power control.  

Sorry to be so difficult.
