Hello,

not sure, my problem is that if I set a brightness via the keyboard (that
is acpi event catched by acpi-support and translated into the brightness
up or down) after a while g-p-m resets it to whatever it thinks should
be. 

But I just discovered that the brightness applet is part of g-p-m, and
using that one to set the brightness work: g-p-m leave the luminosity
where I want it. So, this bug is for me downgraded to a very low
priority, since I can now have the screen like I want it and I assume is
more a problem of g-p-m and acpi-support not understanding each other.

thanks
graziano
