Bug#656384: gnome-session: Failed to execute child process "gnome-power-manager"

[Esthon Medeiros]

Package: gdm3
Version: 3.0.4-4
Followup-For: Bug #656384

I found a comment that this problem was due to the presence of this file: /usr/share/gdm/autostart/LoginWindow/gnome-power-manager.desktop

Then I deleted it (in reality I renamed it) and the problem disapeared. But now I see this:
There may be a problem with your installation of gdm3;
the following problems were detected by debsums:
debsums: missing file /usr/share/gdm/autostart/LoginWindow/gnome-power-manager.desktop (from gdm3 package)

So, I think to solve the original problem you have to exclude the above file from the package.
