When I launch the power manager, the option to "Put the computer to sleep when inactive for:" is greyed out. Any Ideas on where to start? Pm-tools seem to work fine and acpi seems to mostly work.

What groups are you in? Does that happen when you launch it as root?

Great things come in tar.xz packages.

Are you starting from a login manager (gdm) or from .xinitrc/startx ? If the latter, do you have something like 'exec ck-launch-session startxfce4' in your .xinitrc? Is dbus running?

Not starting from a login manager. I added 'exec ck-launch-session startxfce4' in my .xinitrc with no luck. Dbus is running.

xfce4-power-manager probably needs some additional policykit-configuration to work properly but I don't know what. If I check spindown harddisks from it and start xfce4-power-manager again the choice is unchecked.

How do you launch dbus? I had to add it to my DAEMONS array *and* to .xinitrc to get things to work properly, basically following this wiki entry. Checking the spindown option also worked with no further effort.

i have dbus in daemons-section of rc.conf and exec ck-launch-session dbus-launch --exit-with-session startxfce4 in .xinitrc.
Also xfce4-power-manager --dump shows: Authorized to spin down hard disks: True
I wonder if I am missing some package. As far a I know xfce4-power-manager uses udisks to spin down hard disks and I have udisks-package installed.
