thanks

Hm, I have investiged the problem more and it seems I was wrong about
the reason of the behaviour I see. It seems that it is rather a bug in
gnome-power-manager daemon.

More information:
I have removed acpi-support and installed back gnome-power-manager.
This is what I see:

Pressing the backlight controllign buttons switches the light
intensity in large (like doubled) steps.

After AC was off and then on the HDD remains in powersaving mode
(hdparm -B 128. I hear the sound of parking HDD heads).
