I believe this bug could be related to bug id 568163 (brightness applet does not allow mouse clicks), which I just reported.
The brightness applet seems able to change brightness, but only through the use of the scrollwheel. If I attempt to change the brightness bar using mouse clicks the bar just disappears with no change to brightness.
