Bug Description
This is very basic and simple, yet very important feature that should be loaded by default. Until a week or so before the final release of Saucy, everything was fine but then, suddenly, I noticed the Power Manager is not running when I start my machine and login to Lubuntu and it seems this is a last minute change.
If I go to Menu > Preferences > Power Manager, I get this message:
"Xfce4 Power Manager is not running, do you want to launch it now?"
Please note that I am not converting people in Real Life to Linux. People who have been using Windows XP for their entire life. If this bug will remain for a long time, I will have hard time and that will never make them happy which means I have to find another alternative for Lubuntu.
This is on both i386 and amd64 - Lubuntu 13.10

On Facebook Group, this workaround has been posted:
Menu > Preferences > default application for LXsession > Power Manager > Other > xfce4-power-manager > Apply > Reboot.
HOWEVER, please note that this is not enough and this feature should be loaded by default, just like it used to be.
I can't ask Windows Users who just started to use Linux (Lubuntu) to do that :)
