Sorry to hear that...

If you are interested in debugging the brightness applet, easiest way
for me was;

mkdir gpm; cd gpm
apt-get source gnome-power-manager
cd gnome-power-manager-2.30.0
./configure
cd applets/brightness/
make

If this works, there will be "gnome-brightness-applet" binary in the
same directory. (if some packages are missing it shouldn't be that hard
to figure out)

You can replace regular applet with yours by; first removing brightness
applet from panel by right clicking and selecting "Remove From Panel".
Run your version of brightness applet. Then re add brightness applet to
panel just as you would add the regular one (right click, add to panel,
brightness applet) . This time your version of brightness applet will be
running on panel, instead of the normal one. You will probably see some
prints. So the idea is, if your version of the applet is already
working, system will add it to the panel rather than starting the
regular one.

You can add some more printfs in the code and try to findout what the
problem is... for you :)
