Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager

gnome-power-manager should not trigger additional notifications (via notify-osd), if screen-brightness is at minimum or maximum when the user keeps the brightness-down/up key pressed causing key-press events repeating.

I'm not sure if this is the problem I am having on my laptop as I cant cut through all this jargon.

Though I have a Samsung R480 with gnome-power-manager 2.30 installed.

When I press Fn + Up/Down Brightness keyboard event the brightness increases/decreases up or down until the brightness hits max or min. Though, it doesnt stop there action becomes stuck in a loop.

This sorta locks up the OS, as in I cannot click any menus or type into programs. Although it will allow me to switch to a tty and then switch back to the actual GUI session and then I regain back my normal OS functionality. Afterwards the Fn + Up/Down Brightness doesnt respond anymore.

Karmic is EOL at this point, so no point in fixing there. If the problem is still on other releases, please nominate it for the right series. Thanks, Kate
