where has gnome-power-manager gone?

I'm using Xmonad (without Gnome) and installed gnome-power-manager to manage the battery on my laptop. I can't find the binary:

[me@laptop ~]$ pacman -Ss gnome-power-manager
extra/gnome-power-manager 3.2.0-1 (gnome-extra) [installed]
    Power management tools.
[me@laptop ~]$ gnome-<tab>
gnome-autogen.sh        gnome-power-statistics
gnome-doc-common        
[me@laptop ~]$ which gnome-power-manager
which: no gnome-power-manager in (/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/bin/core_perl)

Perhaps there were some wild and crazy changes due to Gnome 3? How do I find/use this thing?

EDIT: After looking at "Package Contents" list on the package page:
http://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra … r-manager/

it appears gnome-power-manager is not installed, just gnome-power-statistics. How can this be? They are not the same thing AFAICT.

pacman -Ql gnome-power-manager

will show you all the files within that package.

pacman -Ql gnome-power-manager | grep /bin/

should find some binaries.

Seems there's only /usr/bin/gnome-power-statistics.

This seems to suggest I'd have to install gnome-control-center... which brings in all of Gnome 3.

Guess I'll look for a different solution.

Re: where has gnome-power-manager gone?

well, i think i explained in general the changes from gnome 3.0 to 3.2 in the news entry. One of the points was about gnome-power-manager
