G'day Ralph,

No, that didn't work. xfce4-power-manager had already taken over the monitoring and management and I couldn't
figure out how to stop it using elogind as the back-end even with all the suspend/hibernate tasks disabled
in elogind.

As pm-utils hasn't been updated in years, and xfce4 recently dropped support for it entirely (removed the interface code)
I figure I'm going to have to make elogind work at some point, so it might as well be now.

Regards,
Brad
