Thank you!


This appears to be reported upstream at 
https://gitlab.xfce.org/xfce/xfce4-settings/-/issues/222 , which was 
fixed (and merged) with 
https://gitlab.xfce.org/xfce/xfce4-settings/-/merge_requests/20 in a 
somewhat unsatisfying way.

It's up to the debian xfce4 maintainers to determine if there's value in 
leaving upower enabled for xfce4-settings in bullseye, and/or this bug 
should be reassigned or cloned to upower.
