Title:
  Two power managers started

Bug description:
  Not sure if this is an issue with the Xfce power manager or desktop in
  general...

  I've been using XUbuntu for several years on a Thinkpad laptop.  Using
  the XFCE power manager I have configured the laptop to suspend when
  the laptop lid is closed.  However, when I upgraded to XUbuntu 10.10,
  XFCE started also gnome-power-manager automatically.  This has the
  effect that quite often when I open the lid, the laptop resumes and
  immediately goes back to sleep.  Only the second resume succeeds.

  I had to manually remove gnome-power-manager from the startup session,
  and now things work mostly fine.  However, occasionally (after using
  the laptop for some time) gnome-power-manager is mysteriously started
  and the same problem occurs.  I have to kill gnome-power-manager to
  get rid of it.

  There should be some check that the two power managers don't run at
  the same time since they are obviously incompatible.
