Bug Description
Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager
The screen will never dim the first time I switch from AC to battery, and none of the other battery specific power settings are applied, even though a notification appears saying that it has switched to battery and the amount of time remaining. If I plug the AC back in and unplug again several times, it eventually "takes" and the screen dims and the settings apply. Sometimes 3 cycles are enough, sometimes it takes up to 10; there doesn't seem to be a pattern. There is never a problem going from battery back to AC. This is on a Thinkpad T400.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.
Could you connect AC plug, then type in a terminal window:
lshal -m > lshal.log.txt
Then unplug AC, then do Ctrl-C in the terminal window.
If bug have happened, attach the generated lshal.log.txt, else reconnect AC plug and retry (lshal -m > lshal.log.txt).
