BIG FAT ACK! I have here also a Samsung P35

I'm also the reporter of bug #136346 - g-p-m is still absolutely broken. The procedure looks like follows:

reboot
gnome, log in
while true; do
    killall gnome-power-manager
    rm -rf ~/.gconf/apps/gnome-power-manager
done

more issues:
 - brightness control with Fn+Up or +Down only one level each time or g-p-m burns CPU with endless change events
   seen with

dbus-monitor --system
  signal sender=:1.3 -> dest=(null destination) path=/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/platform_i8042_i8042_KBD_port_logicaldev_input;
  interface=org.freedesktop.Hal.Device; member=Condition
   string "ButtonPressed"
   string "brightness-down"
  ..... repeat .....

and lshal -m
  21:25:55.541: platform_i8042_i8042_KBD_port_logicaldev_input condition ButtonPressed = brightness-up
  21:25:55.748: platform_i8042_i8042_KBD_port_logicaldev_input condition ButtonPressed = brightness-up
  ..... repeat .....

 - dim display when idle when on battery causes brightness go down to 0% and back to 100%
   (or flashes display and burns CPU)
