Description of problem: Gnome-power-manager produces error on login instead of working. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-power-manager-2.14.3-1 dbus-glib-0.61-3.fc5.1 (both x86_64 and i386 versions installed) How reproducible: Upon fc5 installation I realized that there was no way to change the display power management parameters, the screen saver just used the same setting I had in xorg.conf. So I manually added the gnome-power-manager package. Now, upon logging in to a gnome session, I get a popup error and the power preferences do not seem to have any effect. Steps to Reproduce: 1. The usual fc5 installation on x86_64 2. Manually add package gnome-power-manager Actual results: On logging in to a gnome session, you get a popup saying: Power Manager This program cannot start until you start the dbus session service. This is usually started automatically in X or gnome startup when you start a new session. As far as I can tell, gnome-power-preferences setting changes have no effect, I get the same popup when I try starting it. Expected results: No popups, and working gnome-power-preferences Additional info: The same thing seemed to work correctly on a fc5/i386 machine I tried it out on.
Looks like a dependancy issue. gnome-power-manager should require dbus-x11. Do you have dbus-x11 installed?

Fedora Core 5 and Fedora Core 6 are no longer maintained. Is this bug still present in Fedora 7 or Fedora 8?
