I reported a similar problem which got dup'd to this bug.  Not certain
they are related yet, but I do have one other detail to add.  If I 'sudo
rmmod gspca_vc032x" the gnome-power-manager wakeups fall in frequency.

I do think there may be another problem with gnome-power-manager.  If I strace 
gnome-power-manager, I get:
socket(PF_FILE, SOCK_STREAM, 0)         = 3
connect(3, {sa_family=AF_FILE, path="/tmp/.X11-unix/X0"}, 110) = 0
getpeername(3, {sa_family=AF_FILE, path="/tmp/.X11-unix/X0"}, [20]) = 0
...
gettimeofday({1224875772, 941304}, NULL) = 0
poll([{fd=4, events=POLLIN}, {fd=3, events=POLLIN}, {fd=8, 
events=POLLIN|POLLPRI}, {fd=12, events=POLLIN|POLLPRI}, {fd=13, 
events=POLLIN|POLLPRI}, {fd=14, events=POLLIN|POLLPRI}, {fd=17, events=POLLIN}, 
{fd=10, events=POLLIN|POLLPRI}, {fd=11, events=POLLIN}, {fd=15, 
events=POLLIN}], 10, 100) = 0
gettimeofday({1224875773, 44717}, NULL) = 0
read(3, 0xa0b05d4, 4096)                = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily 
unavailable)
gettimeofday({1224875773, 44956}, NULL) = 0
  And repeat the poll, gtod, read, gtod loop.

So, a 100mSec does in fact seem too short, but it is no longer caught by
powertop once I remove the camera driver for my Sony laptop.  I can keep
powertop up and gnome-power-manager running with no ill effect.
