Title:
  on unsuspend g-p-m alters the backlight level even if power status not
  changed

Status in Gnome Powermanager:
  Confirmed
Status in gnome-power-manager package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  If the backlight brightness has been altered (for example it's a sunny
  day) and then the machine is suspended;  on unsuspend the backlight
  brightness will suddenly jump back to the level configured in
  g-p-preferences after a couple of seconds, even if the AC power status
  as not changed.

  This looks fairly unslightly and it isn't necessarily want is wanted.

  Ideally g-p-manager should only act on its internal settings when a
  change of state occurs ('edge' rather than 'level').

  This also appears to happen when the screensaver deactivates and comes
  back to the desktop.
