Well it's actually Mart Raudsepp who found the fix, not me.
maintainer.py just took the committer - which I'll have to be more
careful with in the future. Sorry Mart!

Perhaps. Can you get me the output of "

killall gnome-power-manager
gnome-power-manager --no-daemon --verbose

" please. The debug spew should tell us what it's looking for.

Up to you, I don't mind either. Sorry for the delay, I've been crazy
