It turns out there were two packages that had been removed on the last
upgrade... not sure why:

    xserver-xorg-input-evdev
    xserver-xorg-input-synaptics

Once they were reinstalled, everything started working again, and the
brightness problem was solved by Matt's update to gnome-power-manager.

Thanks.
