I think this should probably be implemented in the kernel itself (as suggested by the already-open 'linux' task); we don't want that handling to be dependent on a desktop component (like gnome-settings-daemon), and as acpi-support should go away, that leaves the kernel as the preferred place to implement this. (And that would definitely be consistent with other LED handling.)
