Only six ref. found on Google, 5 of them is the same post of some other 
guy and the 6th is my post.  The closes thing to an answer is"

"Watch for some userspace code playing with /sys/.../power/state." from 
http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0610.1/0434.html

Just searched "power" in synaptic I have acpid 1.0.4-5 (Sid sources 
here)  arts 1.5.5-1, gnome-applets 2.14.3-1+b1, powerngnt-base 1.29  A 
few others, but clearly "joe" has nothing to do with setting power 
state.  Any ideas how to track this down.  Some piece of software has 
gone buggy and only about two guys have been affected (or know they are 
affected).
