the debian changelog says:

 * Sync with ubuntu:
    - Stop installing the g-p-m autostart xdg file, the daemon parts have been
      replaced by gnome-settings-daemon

it seems gnome-power-manager has been subsumed in gnome-settings-daemon now. (although it's not very explicit in the ubuntu changelog.)

could you have a look if there is any functionality missing when using a current gnome-settings-daemon?

[Julien Olivier (julo)]

In Precise, there still is a /etc/xdg/gnome-power-manager.desktop file in the gnome-power-manager package, but no "/usr/bin/gnome-power-manager".

[hackel (hackel)]

Still very much present in gnome-power-manager 3.4.0-0ubuntu1.1. This causes the following error at *every* login.

gnome-session[11158]: WARNING: Failed to start app: Unable to start application: Failed to execute child process "gnome-power-manager" (No such file or directory)
