Thanks for that command line snippet. IMO this is a quite nasty bug.
Do I understand correctly that you think re-setting this once is enough
to work around this bug? This doesn't seem to be the case here:
penelope[~]$ pgrep -f gnome-power-manager
3263
penelope[~]$ # no icon
penelope[~]$ cat .gconf/apps/gnome-power-manager/%gconf.xml
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<gconf>
<entry name="display_icon_policy" mtime="1193013669" type="string">
<stringvalue>always</stringvalue>
</entry>
<entry name="ac_sleep_computer" mtime="1193010136" type="int"
value="2700">
</entry>
</gconf>
penelope[~]$ gconftool-2 -s -t string
/apps/gnome-power-manager/display_icon_policy always
penelope[~]$ # icon appears
penelope[~]$ dpkg -l gnome-power-manager | grep ii
ii gnome-power-manager 2.14.3-3+b1 frontend for gnome-powermanager
penelope[~]$ cat /etc/debian_version
4.0
Given this, what's supposed to be the best workaround for this bug?
Unless there's a one-shot workaround, I *really* doubt this issue
qualifies as minor. When there's no icon, *major* features of
gnome-power-manager are *inaccessible*. (The dbus interface doesn't
count.)
