Well, there isn't really a problem if idle dimming is enabled - in that case
it dims properly to the "idle" brightness setting. That is, unless
brightness is already set to a lower setting, in which case the brightness
increases (but that's another bug).

In any case, if some kind of patch can't be integrated, the whole
auto-brightness change logic should be disabled in Gutsy - it's so
incredibly buggy as to cause more problems than do good in its existing
form.
