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.
