networkmanager is already in RDEPENDS of xfce4-power-manager. I think
when building an image packagegroup-core-x11-sato there is a conflict.

I looked into this a bit more and think:
1. networkmanger support is optional so a packagroup would allow
conman and xfce4-power-manager live together in harmony
2. I think the patch goes much to far: To have networkmanager in
images based on packagegroup-core-x11-sato the correct way would be to
write NETWORK_MANAGER = "networkmanager" in the image recipe.
