And the bug strikes again (although it may be a different bug):
- the ACPI sleep key (Fn-F4) is ignored, even though I see in /var/log/acpid 
that sleepbtn.sh was invoked
- gnome-power-manager's icon is not drawn at all (I see a blank rectange the 
size of the icon in my notification area, but cannot interact with it)
- the ACPI power button is ignored and doesn't show me the usual menu
- the logout applet on the panel grabs the keyboard and mouse, but doesn't show 
the menu (I have to ctrl-alt-f1, ctrl-alt-f7 to break the grab so that I could 
interact with other applications)
- gnome-power-manager is running (strace shows it waiting in futex(), gdb shows 
it's stuck in libgstpulse.so)

Actually that last bit provides a clue.  For some reason sound stopped
working for me today, so I did the traditional big-hammer dance of

  pulseaudio -k
  killall mixer_applet2
  sudo modprobe -r snd-hda-intel
  sudo modprobe snd-hda-intel

Applications that play sound through pulseaudio don't like it when I
kill the pulseaudio daemon.  For applications like Firefox (flash
plugin, actually) and Banshee, I notice the unresponsive window right
away and kill them, but I hadn't even realized gnome-power-manager does
sound effects.
