Just delete /usr/sbin/gnome-power-backlight-helper or if you want to be 
safe in case it may have be of some use later on, rename it to 
/usr/sbin/gnome-power-backlight-helper_whatisthis so you can rename it back.

I did just that without trouble; doesn't seem to be significant.

You said you did an upgrade, so I assume it is not a fresh install. How 
did you do that? Normally for Kubuntu, I kdesudo 
"/media/cdrom/cdromupgrade" . Lubuntu does not have the alternate 
install cd, so I had to "update-manager -d" which is much much slower 
and noticed many dependency or package clashes and had to 
reconfigure/force-install many of them. Do you also have package 
inconsistencies?

But having it now perfect, I think it's a great improvement over Lucid. 
Many thanks to PCMan, Julien, Rafael and many others who have 
contributed to it. But please watch out for it being too bloated, we 
don't want it to be just another distro. If users want to add say, Gimp 
or OpenOffice, they can do that by themselves. Keep it lean and mean. 
Great job. Thanks again.
