[K12OSN] gnome-power-manager Error Message

[Petre Scheie]

This topic got a lot of discussion on the list earlier.  Since thin clients are being 
used, rather than laptops on batteries, the gnome-power-manager is unnecessary.  Use 
google to search the archives with 'gnome-power-manager 
site:www.redhat.com/archives/k12osn' for more details, and then, as David suggested, use 
yum to remove the package.
