I am using XDMCP (via VcXsrv with Win7) on my Xubuntu 14.04 machine and noticed that the battery indicator vanished since last week or so. The reason seems to be a crashing xfce4-power-manager (--version says ... for Xfce 1.2.0).
I restarted it with --debug and the following lines are always the last before it crashes again, (don't know exactly what that means): TRACE[xfpm-backlight.c:104] xfpm_backlight_dim_brightness(): Current brightness level before dimming : 100, new 80 Error executing command as another user: Not authorized This incident has been reported. The program 'xfce4-power-manager' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)'.
