Bug#505051: gnome-power-manager: overrides user-set display brightness

[Johannes Berg]

Package: gnome-power-manager
Version: 2.22.1-4
Severity: normal

On my powerbook, when I'm just sitting there working on something,
the display brightness sometimes changes unexpectedly to the
default setting (full brightness on AC) although I made it a lot
darker because I'm sitting in a dark room.
