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*.
