Bug#577809: gnome-power-manager: Birghtness applet no longer works

Package: gnome-power-manager
Version: 2.30.0-1
Severity: normal

I am no longer able to modify the screen brightness using the applet.

Seems to be similar to bug 479116 but my issue appeared much much
recently than 2008. (Must have been with the transition to upower?)
Thankfully, the keyboard keys to control brightness still work.
