Does your file manager have an exit button? No..

Yes you do, but you probably don't know :-) - g-p-m also manages the
display power (DPMS) in concert with gnome-screensaver... Also, in the
event a user plugs in a UPS we want an icon to appear and g-p-m to
manage it... Hence, we want this process running in the desktop session
all the time..

Maybe if you looked a bit harder it is possible to configure g-p-m so it
doesn't do anything.. (System->Prefs->More Prefs->Power Mgmt)... of
course that doesn't mean that it's completely bug free..

That is a bug.. and I guess the one that upsets you.. I've been seeing
that one too... did you file a bug so it will get fixed?
