After posting the original message in this thread it became clear that power management would only work correctly with systemd as PID 1 unless I wanted to engage in something I simply wouldn't have time for, Even so, the limited power management available in Xfce4 power manager 1.2 was better than nothing.
To my delight Xfce4 power manager landed in my upgrade queue in Aptitude this morning. It is more feature laden and let me configure things exactly how I like them along with now controlling the display brightness which was non-functional with the recently added kernel 3.16.x but still worked with 3.14.x in power manager 1.2 (actually, I don't think 1.2 did anything to control the display brightness). Allow me to thank the Xfce maintainers for getting power manager 1.4 into Unstable. - Nate -- "The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds.
