Title:
  [maverick] launching gnome-power-preferences triggers a policykit
  window for gnome-power-backlight-helper

Status in “gnome-power-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  As of the latest maverick package updates, running gnome-power-
  preferences asks for the user's password to run gnome-power-backlight-
  helper. There are a few problems with this.

  1. this program should not run as my computer is not a laptop and doesn't have variable backlight setting
  2. it requires elevated privileges, meaning non-admin users may no longer be able to use this
