Public bug reported:

Up till natty (11.04), there was a gconf option reduce
brightness_dim_battery, which would cause the brightness to be lowered
by the specified amount *as soon as* the laptop went off AC battery -
great help for power saving! In oneiric, there is no corresponding dconf
option for the power manager - and there is no option in the gnome-
control-center either.

The gconf option still is there, but as far as I can see it has no
effect on the behaviour.

Note: this is a different option than dimming on idle!

1) Ubuntu 11.10
2) Versions:
      gnome-control-center:  1:3.2.1-0ubuntu1
      gnome-power-manager:  3.2.1-0ubuntu1
3) Expected behaviour:
- I open power management options (and/or dconf) and find an option like: reduce brightness when on battery
4) what happened instead:
- no such option(s)
