We had this same problem when we installed K12LTSP 5 for a large lab at
NECC.  Nick Wheeler fixed it for us as mentioned below:

Subject: *power management solutions - gnome-power-manager*

Firstly, I stopped acpid.

/etc/init.d/acpid stop

as acpid and gnome-power-manager could be contending.

To make this change permanent, I did:

$ nvsysv

and 'unchecked' the acpid option.

OTHER:  I have not done this yet, but if the problem is not fixed a
quick-and-dirty fix is to simply make gnome-power- manager not run. The way
to do this is, as root

$ locate autostart | grep -i power | xargs -n1 rm

That will delete all the gnome-power-manager.desktop files under the
autostart folders for all users, and /usr/share/ gnome/autostart/gnome-power
-manager.desktop


This by no means does not fix the problem, but instead ignores it, which is
just as good :o)
