Thats it thanks.

Yes:

** (gnome-power-manager:1489): WARNING **: Either HAL or DBUS are not
working!

** (gnome-power-manager:1489): WARNING **: proxy failed

** (gnome-power-manager:1489): WARNING **: failed to get Computer root
object

** (gnome-power-manager:1489): WARNING **: proxy NULL!!

I also get this:
(gnome-power-manager:1489): GLib-GObject-WARNING **:
/build/buildd/glib2.0-2.24.1/gobject/gsignal.c:2273: signal
`proxy-status' is invalid for instance `0x8dad8f0'

But was told by Chris Coulsen that "it's only a warning"
<https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-power-manager/+bug/614248/>
(comments 13 & 14).
