Which means that adding files at login is a no-op, as well as menu editing after login. Modifications to /etc/xdg/autostart/xfce4-power-manager.desktop will be preserved on upgrades, but it is a bit strange to tell people to configure an application to be started at login and then logoff/login to have it started for the first time... AFAIK, there is no good power manager for LXDE and most of the time the advice I have found on the net is to use XFCE's one (as for other LXDE components). For this reason, IMHO the submitter's suggestion is a different beast that #673360 or #673363. Thx, bye, Gismo / Luca
