Bug Description

1. Go to system settings
2. open brightness panel
3. make sure auto brightness is ticked.
4. drag down the battery indicator from the top
5. try to change the brightness

What happens:
The slider moves but the brightness remains the same

What should happen:
probably the slider should be greyed out and not movable with the mention that auto brightness is on and needs to be turned off.

Personally I think we are really showing too many indicators in the OS

The power indicator's brightness slider is being removed for bug #1289470, and that will of course fix this bug too...

The slider in System Settings itself has exactly the same problem, so removing the one from the indicator menu won't fix the underlying bug.
