With a different icon set these are clearly different programs. One of them is xfce4's native power manager which I can right click on to get a menu. The other one gives me no info at all when I click it. I have grepped through 'ps auxwww' output and all kinds of things but I simply can't figure out what this other power manager is so I can stop it. I've also looked in my startup but I can't see anything there either.

I had two power managers installed before I did a recent re-install (as
opposed to upgrading).  I *think* one was the default Gnome one and the
other was the xfce one.

Have you looked in synaptic to see if there are two installed?
