You most likely still have a autostart file in
~/.config/autostart/ due to local modifications. If that file is there,
please delete it and make sure, gnome-session-properties doesn't like
gnome-power-manager anymore.




Doing 'find /home/*/.config/autostart', I see that none of my users has any
files under autostart. Yet I see the warning frequently in my logcheck
output.

In fact, scrutinizing the output of 'find /home/*/.config -type f -print
-exec grep gnome-power-manager "{}" \;', I don't see any occurrence of
gnome-power-manager anywhere.

Also, 'grep -r gnome-power-manager /etc' returns only:

/etc/gdm3/greeter.gconf-defaults:/apps/gnome-power-manager/ui/icon_policy
never
/etc/UPower/UPower.conf:# gnome-power-manager to not suspend on system
startup.


Thanks for response. Please let me know if there's something else that I
can do to track this down. I don't like having unexplained warnings show up
in my log files.




You can run gnome-session in debug mode.
Copy the attached gnome-debug.desktop file to /usr/share/xsessions/ and
the attached gnome-session-debug script to /usr/bin and make it
executable via chmod +x.
Then select "GNOME Debug" in the GDM login manager.
This will give you a verbose ~/.xsession-errors log file. There you
should see where the gnome-power-manager autostart is coming from.

Feel free to attach the log file so we can have a look.
