After last update of power manager, it disappears from the system tray and won't start any more.
I got following message if I try to start it from the console:
The program 'xfce4-power-manager' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadName (named color or font does not exist)'.
(Details: serial 294 error_code 15 request_code 149 minor_code 11)
(Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
I use gdm daemon.

Same problem here. Switched from Gnome-shell to xfce4 using gdm and now xfce4-power-manager does not start.
Asus 1215B here, if that helps.

I had same problem, power-plugin was exiting with error because of video DPMS switched off.
Switching DPMS on, fixed the problem.

... switching off DPMS support myself with "xset -dpms" (put it there to avoid screen blanking while watching movies)
Absolutely the same is my case, but I need to use "xset -dpms ..." for the reason mentioned above.
Recently I use acpid instead of xfce4-power-manager, and this is a workaround of the problem.

I use gnome-shell with gnome-shell-extension-presentation-mode estension, no need to xset dpms anymore. It works simple and clean.

hi.
i know this post is old, but the problem still exists. on my system, it happens only when i use the radeon driver in combination with gdm. i worked around this by using lxdm instead of gdm, now everything works just fine!
