Bug Description
The slider in the "Brightness and Lock" settings panel does not respond to brightness changes by keyboard hotkeys.
Steps to reproduce:
1) Open "Brightness and Lock" from the control center
2) Change the brightness with the keyboard hotkeys
3) See that the brightness slider does not change
I read the similar (fixed) bug #893851 and I saw the attached patch that updated the DBus interface. Now it seems the signal is not reaching the UI for some other reason. If I run "dbus-monitor type=signal" and set the brightness up and down with the keyboard, the following output shows:
signal sender=:1.9 -> dest=org.
signal sender=:1.9 -> dest=org.
This seems to imply the signals are issued but they don't reach the UI.
