Interesting. I wonder if you were running into a guidance-power-manager bug
in handling old configurations... That's the primary thing I know of that
uses Python after you log in. It's the tool which shows your battery power
as well as allows you to suspend/hibernate and change power consumption
profiles.

I may try that. It's a bit akin to reinstalling the os on Windows, without
all the hastel ;)
