[maverick] launching gnome-power-preferences triggers a policykit window for gnome-power-backlight-helper

[Delan Azabani]

As of the latest maverick package updates, running gnome-power-preferences asks for the user's password to run gnome-power-backlight-helper. There are a few problems with this.

1. this program should not run as my computer is not a laptop and doesn't have variable backlight setting
2. it requires elevated privileges, meaning non-admin users may no longer be able to use this

Probably related to #616405 or even a duplicate; on my notebook, this window normally pops open upon login.

No more an issue for me with 2.32.0-0ubuntu1. Please confirm and close, someone.

Thanks for the report, it has been some time without any response or feedback in this bug report and we are wondering if this is still an issue for you with the latest release of Ubuntu the Natty Narwhal, May you please test with that version and comment back if you're still having or not the issue? Please have a look at http://www.ubuntu.com/download to know how to install that version.Thanks in advance and sorry for the late response.
