Made the tweaks that you suggested to .xsession--thanks. I tried removing xfce4-power-manager from .xsession and running it from an xterm one the desktop was running but I get the same thing. So, I think there must be something that the running the full xfce4 session sets up in order to make this work correctly that I am missing from my simpler setup.

If that were my .xsession I wouldn't have 'xrdb -merge .Xresources' because it is taken care of in /etc/X11/Xsession.d. I'd also be inclined to have 'exec $HOME/share/bin/dwm'. But those are two minor points and your .xsession looks ok to me. What you could do is have only 'exec $HOME/share/bin/dwm' in it and run xfce4-power-manager (there is also xfce4-power-manager-settings) to see if there is any difference. TBH, I cannot think what bearing the WM would have on the problem but you could install fvwm, do without any .xsession and start the power manager again from an xterm. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
