This bug affects me in Ubuntu 9.10 beta1. My netbook is an Asus Eee Pc 1000H. when it is being powered by battery, i decided to put the screen brightness for example: 80%. If I wait a minute, the computer enters the idle session and the screen brightness is reduced to 50%. Then press a key and recovers the brightness of the screen, but not the original brightness (80%), recovering 100%.
If, to save much battery  i decided to put the screen brightness for example: 10%. After idle session and the screen brightness is increases to 50%.

** Summary changed:

- [Jaunty] Original screen brightness not restored after activity with "dim display when idle" for MacBook 5.1 when running on battery.
+ Original screen brightness not restored after inactivity with "dim display when idle" when running on battery.

Bug description:
In GNOME Power Management Settings, one can set "Dim display when idle". When this option is checked, and the user allows for a period of inactivity, the screen will dim. When running on battery, however, after user activity (e.g., input from the keyboard, touchpad, or other input device), the screen is not restored to its original brightness state, but instead remains dimmed.

Bug #357107 and this bug may be related, since this may have to do with storage of brightness settings.
