FN keys work at a hardware level, so they always work.
hald-addon-dell-backlight does this:
listen for changes by the FN-keys and notifies software that cares about it (through HAL)
lets the brightness be changed by software (through HAL as well), eg, after some inactivity

I think this bug can be closed...
