My temporary band-aid solution was to install xfce4-power-manager which
has a slider in the status icon menu, so now I can set it (not really a
feature I want or need, but has some utility) or just check it from
there. It works for now. I'm still looking. It also allowed me to remove
the power manager I had installed, and wound up using marginally less
space, with fewer dependencies.
