[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#619343: screen still blinks

[Marco d'Itri]

Package: upower
Version: 0.9.9-1~sid1
Severity: important

This looks related to #613745. When I run upower -m I get an endless
stream of:

[01:36:22.900]	device removed:   /org/freedesktop/UPower/devices/battery_BAT0
[01:36:23.971]	device added:     /org/freedesktop/UPower/devices/battery_BAT0
[01:36:23.971]	device changed:     /org/freedesktop/UPower/devices/battery_BAT0
[01:36:23.972]	device changed:     /org/freedesktop/UPower/devices/battery_BAT0

This means that the screen blinks every second (also stopping a mouse
selection in progress and generally driving me mad).

This also causes the issue reported in #606414.

Please advise, running upower currently makes my system basically
unusable.
