Bug Description
Gnome hotkeys for controlling screen backlight gives only 20 levels. Since modern notebooks have really powerful backlight only 2-3 lower steps are usable in the dark environment.
Maximum count of brightness levels is hardcoded to 20 in macro "BRIGHTNESS_

For example, my thinkpad has 496 brightness levels:
cat /sys/class/
496
Hotkeys allows to set brightness 4, 28, 52, and the next step is 76 which is already too bright.
