Hmmm, I have easily around 500-600 wakeups/second. But I do not even see 
plasma-desktop in the process list on the Overview tab of powertop.

No, no plasma-desktop there at all. But stuff like KWin, Dolphin, Kmail, 
Akregator, some Konquerors which were preloaded - why are these doing 
anything anyway? -, sometimes Iceweasel, and various Nepomuk stuff like 
nepomukindexer, nepomukservicestubs and virtuoso-t, as well as postgres 
for Akonadi, some interrupt threads (I use threadirqs kernel option) and 
BTRFS.

Still fan isn´t even running most of the time. Sandybrdige CPU is in C7 
sleep state in 87% of the time. It idles in about 30-35% of the time and 
is at 800 MHz in about 60% of the time. Rest is distributed among 
frequencies with the bulk of 2-8% in turbo mode.

The machine is basically doing nothing except for those wakeups.

Thus is you have plasma-desktop in the first place, I think this is not 
normal. Unless you do not run anything else at all in the moment. I think 
I will try with all user applications closed and look again.

I would test with a new user with a bog standard KDE configuration first. If 
that is better I would disable plasmoids one by one starting with those 
which I added yourself until I find the culprit. Since these are running in 
the context of plasma-desktop and I am not even sure whether they run as 
threads there, I do not know any other approach that would work.

Ciao,

So there we go - just two samples with all applications closed, all
preloaded konquerors stopped, Akonadi stopped, Nepomuk told
to stop indexing (whether it did, is another question):

On an idle system?

I see between 20 and 100 events from plasma-desktop, and around the same 
from the X sever (nvidia, Quadro FX 880M). CPU-wise, plasma-desktop 
permanently pulls 1-2% cpu time, and the x server another 3-5%.

Ack. And the behaviour is not that clear that I can rule out other heavy 
electrons ;-).

Yes, that will be the next step. Did not really have the time to look into 
this much deeper.

That was the first try I gave ;-). And power consumption was basically the 
same. And, as written, it seems to be something kde related, because 
neither with a gnome desktop, nor with no X11 running at all I could 
reproduce the power drain.

Hopefully I'll have the time to look into that the next days a littl 
deeper.

(You know, knowing that probably s.t. is broken on my side makes diagnosis 
much easier ;-).

Do you have okular-extra-backends installed?
