Title:
  Brightness Level resets after closing lid to laptop.

Status in gnome-power-manager package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  gnome-power-manager and the brightness applet had some very annoying
  bugs in Gutsy (see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-
  power-manager/+bug/137598).

  For a while after upgrading to Hardy, it seemed as through the
  aforementioned bug had been resolved. I was able to adjust the screen
  brightness with [Fn + Up] and [Fn + Down] without issue. But now that
  I have been using Hardy for a few days, it seems that some of the bugs
  remain. If I set my brightness via the Brightness Applet, the chosen
  brightness will change after I close/reopen my laptop lid. However, if
  I use the [Fn + Up] and [FN + Down] keystrokes, the brightness will be
  "saved" until the computer restarts. Once the computer restarts, the
  brightness level returns to a level different from the level set with
  [Fn + Up] or [Fn + Down].

  I have not done any extensive testing, and thus cannot provide with
  certainty a "Steps to reproduce" section. But it is clear that
  something is wrong, as the brightness level should not modify itself
  when I close my laptop lid. If anyone can confirm similar buggy
  activity or would like to provide any other relevant information,
  please do so in the comments section.
