I haven't looked at the details of the different scripts,... but just
tried the following (everything as most recent sid version).

1) log on to gnome (via gdm) as some user
2) log off
3) switching to console
4) press power button

=> nothing happens.

And gnome-power-manager seems to be not running.


Cheers,
Chris.
