The powerd dbus api to allow changing the brightness and {en,dis}abling
autobrightness has been ready for months, just waiting for someone to
approve the merge request. Until that happens there is no way to apply
the user settings.
Inactivity timeouts are a different topic, but I will interject that the
plan has long been for unity to take over this functionality. I don't
think it makes sense to plumb in any apis for changing this in powerd
when that functionality will be removed.
