Mike,

   What do you mean by 'notification area?'

   Yes, the power manager shows up in the list of processes.

   Tweaking the actions when on battery, AC, and top closing are the
available options. I don't want to remove it because it's useful when the
laptop is running on the battery.

   I'm running -13.1 with xfce-4.6.1 on the desktop and clicking the quit
button usually kills the X server (but now on occasion it brings up a dialog
box asking if that's what I want to do). It's always been set to just kill X
without asking. On the laptop I'm running -current and that's where I see
the dialog box with options to log me out as a user, reboot, shut down,
suspend, or hibernate. Completely different behavior when the same button is
clicked.

   Clicking to view properties of that button the only offered options are to
select among quit/lock screen/both and, if both, to orient them horizontally
or vertically. No control over behavior of the quit button's actions.

Thanks,
