I'm using Fedora Core 6 and 12 with local customizations (i.e., I didn't use
Anaconda for the installation). No gnome-power-manager or anything
power-management-related installed:

$ rpm -q gnome-power-manager
package gnome-power-manager is not installed
$ rpm -qa \*power\*
powerman-1.0.25-2.fc6
$ rpm -qi powerman

$ ps auxww | grep hid
kelvin    7466  0.0  0.0  60228   752 pts/10   S+   20:27   0:00 grep hid
