[SOLVED] Double Icon, xfce4-power-manager - Ideas?

Question

Hey all,
Recently I've had this little launcher-like icon beside my power manager icon in xfce4.  I can't seem to get rid of it...and when you right-click on it, it's the exact same thing as the xfce4-power-manager icon.  If I try to click the "quit" option, it closes itself and the xfce4-power-manager.  It's like a double-icon for xfce4-power-manager that I can't seem to get rid of.
So far I've tried deleting all of my xfce configs (rm -rf /home/<user>/.config/{xfce4,xfce4-session}) and it still shows up.  I've looked at the .xml files and they look fine.  So...I settled on just hiding the icon(s)...it only shows up as one icon to hide in the notification area preferences. 
Any suggestions/ideas on how to get rid of it?  Screenshot provided:

Answer 1

The only other thing I can think of is you either have 2 instances of xfce4-power-manager running, or gnome-power-manager is trying to launch.
Have you previously or are you currently starting gnome services at start up (Settings >> Session and Startup - Advanced tab)? If so, check the Application Autostart tab to see if you have both gnome-power-manager and xfce4-power-manager selected.
Otherwise check to see if more than 1 instance of xfce4-power-manager is running:
$ ps aux | grep xfce4-power-manager
there should be too lines similar to the following:
padfoot 2586 0.1 1.2 177036 12500 ? Ssl 16:51 0:03 xfce4-power-manager --restart --sm-client-id 263cc3d4b-0aaa-48ba-9bfe-14697576ae9f
padfoot 2615 0.0 0.2 16680 2848 ? Ss 16:51 0:00 xfce4-power-manager
Any more than that and you have more than 1 instance.
Let me know
Cheers.
