Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager

When I unplug the power cord from my Dell 600m laptop, there is some breakage in X with the keyboard and touchpad if the first thing I do is adjust the screen brightness. I can't type, can't move windows, can't change firefox tabs, etc. Some functions still respond, like I can CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE to restart X, and I can login, but the problem persists. The problem is fixed if I change to another tty, then change back to X.
