Bug#503377: vlc: Seems to start gnome-power-manager when playing

Package: vlc
Version: 0.9.4-1
Severity: normal

The experimental version of VLC seems to be starting gnome-power-manager 
when playing a movie. Gnome-power-manager never starts by itself in any 
other situation that when playing a movie with VLC.

This is unconfortable because:
-gnome-power-manager will change the brightness set by the KDE applet
-gnome-power-manager does not have a quit option, so it needs to be 
killed by some means.

Running a Debian Unstable, updated a few days ago, with only the VLC 
package from experimental.
