[Bug 102294] guidance-power-manager doesn't change screen brightness

[NabLa]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: kde-guidance

The KDE applet for guidance-power-manager seems to ignore screen
brightness settings, ie, I drag the screen brightness slider to the
lowest setting for "mains powered" and apply, but screen brightness
doesn't change (even if I unplug&plug power to force it).

That said, screen brightness adjustment in power profiles work when they
are configured in powersaved config files (such as
/etc/powersave/scheme_powersave). It just seems that the kde applet
cannot change the screen brightness at all, but powersaved can.

This is a Sony VAIO VGN-FS285M (centrino), on Kubuntu Feisty (updated as
of today).

PS: this very same behaviour existed in Edgy.
