Thanks for the fix, Danny.  

For what it's worth, I think I know what triggers it too (or at least,
this is how I've reproduced it):  if you run "udevadm trigger" it
generates new events for every device on the system.  The
xfce4-power-manager dev worked around it in his code, but it will be
nice to not have to do that any more.

Any word on 0.5.12? :-)
