Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager

Hi all,

I've switched to Lucid alpha yesterday, and today, when I started my usual Fluxbox session, I found out this strange behaviour:

 1) When starting fluxbox, it automatically runs gnome-power-manager, so the icon appears in my systray
 2) After 30 seconds, the icons dissapears. Anyways, there is an empty space where it was placed. Right click doesn't work either over the place where the icon was
 3) After another 30 seconds a new icon appears, but in a new space.
 4) Steps 2 and 4 repeat forever.
 5) If I kill gnome-power-manager, all empty spaces (and existing icon if any) dissapear from the systray, it this goes back to normality.

I'm attaching a screenshot of how the systray looks like after 3 or 4 minutes.

I'm running fluxbox built from the git head, but I never had such a problem with previous versions of gnome-power-manager.

I forgot to say that I don't have this problem with any of the other applications that dock in the systray, only this particular new version of gnome-power-manager. This is why I'm very inclined to think that is gnome-power-manager's fault instead of fluxbox's.

I believe I'm seeing this bug too, although I'm using gnome-panel in a Gnome session. I have a slightly different presentation, in that the icon appears and disappears; I don't get empty spaces. I upgraded my Karmic install to Lucid yesterday.
