Bug Description
Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager
However I have noticed a problem that is easy to reproduce and is related to some of the posts above in bug #199522 (https:/
1) Turn on the laptop on AC
2) After logging in unplug and replug the laptop to AC many times.
After each the unplug-replug cycle the final brightness is different, with a clear trend to decrease.
I have tried to delete my old g-p-m settings by deleting g-p-m directories in ~/.gnome2 and ~/.gconf without any improvement.

I can confirm this bug on a Thinkpad T61 8889-2BG with Nvidia graphics card.
Gnome-power-manager restores the brightness after replugging to a slightly lower value than before unplugging. However, it is possible to increase the brightness to the maximum level with the brightness keys.
