That doesn't seem reasonable. It wouldn't shut down the system
unless someone was actually logged in if gnome-settings-daemon
were responsible for noticing the power failure. (Of course,
I could also believe gnome is silly enough to work that way,
but I had hoped some other party was responsible for handling
the power failure whenever it happened to occur).
