[Bug 405935] [NEW] Xfce4-power-manager provides no feedback when it fails to start

[Cody A.W. Somerville]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xfce4-power-manager

After installing xfce4-power-manager and uninstalling gnome-power-
manager, I clicked Applications > Settings > Xfce4 Power Manager. I was
presented with a dialogue window noting that the Xfce4 power manager was
not running and asked me if I would like to launch it. Clicking "Run"
dismisses the dialogue but nothing after that happens and xfce4-power-
manager isn't running. Attempting to try again, I get the same results.

I then realized that gnome-power-manager is probably still running and
maybe thats causing issues. After killing gnome-power-manager, xfce4
-power-manager started successfully.

xfce4-power-manager should provide feedback when it fails to start.
