I just found a module causing this behavior. That was lirc_imon crashing
at bootup. Attaching dmesg log piece of the crash. I'm not using it at
the moment so I just disable it and everything started to work very
smoothly. Thank you all for this bug report. It provided me with
valuable hints.

This is pretty long chain of events though:
- infrared driver broken and crashes on bootup
- devkit-power-daemon dies because of that
- half of gnome gui becomes unresponsive on bootup and at runtime

It seems to me that gui should be less dependent on health of power management 
and power management should be way less dependent on well being of individual 
modules and drivers. 
How come devkit-power-daemon is so vulnerable to such external and remote 
factors? Is there a fundamental problem preventing it from being more robust?

Thanks again and it would be nice to see your comments.
