This seems to be a deadlock with regards to the session manager. I also have g-p-m disabled in my session options... When I replace /usr/bin /gnome-power-manager by a shell script that starts the real gnome-power- manager under strace, I get the following debugging output:
---------> Output of strace -o /tmp/gnome-power-manager.$$ /usr/bin/gnome-power-manager.orig connect(12, {sa_family=AF_FILE, path="/tmp/.ICE-unix/6166"}, 21) = 0 fcntl64(12, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC) = 0 write(12, "\0\1\0\0\0\0\0\0", 8) = 8 read(12, 0x80c7770, 8) = ?
