[Gnewsense-dev] Brightness changes spontaneously

I have an external battery connected.
I reduce the brightness to conserve power.
Every so often the system spontaneously changes to
full brightness.

What's going on here?  Is the GNOME power settings demon
overriding explicit user commands?

If so, that is a bug.  It should never countermand an explicit
order from the user.

For each of the distinct states it knows about, it should remember
what brightness the user ast chose in that state.  When it leaves
a state, it should store the current brightness as the last brightness
for that state.  When it enters a state, it should set the brightness
to the value stored for that state.  This way, no user-specified brightness
change will ever be countermanded.  Instead, user-specified brightnesses
will be swapped in and out.

If you can't fix this yourselves, could you please report it upstream
and watch to make sure it is fixed?
