Title:
  screen brightness adjusts itself constantly

Status in PowerD:
  New
Status in “powerd” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “ubuntu-system-settings” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Ubuntu 13.10 (r100)  (Touch)

  Expected:  manualy adjusted screen brightness stays that way, except
  after period of inactivity, when it goes into power saving mode

  Instead: brightness is dimmed after a few seconds

  As stated in title, screen brighness adjusts itself constantly: When adjusting brightness manualy, Galaxy Nexus device (maguro) is often dimmed immedeatly to seemingly some kind of default setting. 
  Usualy, this bug happens within seconds after the brightness is set manualy. Sometimes though, it happens later at (apparently) random moments. On rare occasions, it doesnt happen at all.
  On every occasion however, the slider for manual setting stays where it is.

  At first, I was thinking it was triggered by an overzealous proximity
  sensor (which however works perfectly on android). Now I am leaning
  towards some sort of default setting or automated brightness. Judging
  from earlier posts on xda and LP, it seems there was such a feature at
  some stage in the beta. is there some kind of automatic brightness
  process at work, that overides the manual, but which has no interface?
