Hi, is it possible to use automatic change of brigtness level, as it was in 0.6.x? I mean, if "Never" is set on "Reduce screen brightness when computer is inactive for:". If I set Never, brigtness level goes max even on batery power.

I'm not sure i understand what do you mean here. Please note that the power manager reduces the brightness level only when the timeout defined by you expires, to be clear here is an example when say on battery power. Brightness level 10 timeout expires level set to 1 user input (mouse/keyboard) brightness set to 10. user reduces the brightness explicitly to 4. timeout expires level set to 1 user input, brightness set to 4. user deduces the brightness to the minimum. timeout expires nothing happen. user input nothing happen. the brightness is always set to the preferred level set by the user. If you have any trouble regarding this please post with the specific steps to reproduce your problem.
Seems like we don't understand each other. I mean when plugging in and out the power cable. 0.6: on electric power Brightness level 9 plugging out the cable, on battery power Brightness level goes down to something, I'm not sure e.g. 5 user reduces the brightness explicitly to 4 plugging in the cable, on electric power Brightness level 9 user sets the brightness explicitly to 10 plugging out the cable, on battery power Brightness level goes back down to 4 I'm not sure if it worked like this, but it was similar. Now the only way of changing the brightness level is with this delay.

This was for version 0.6, do you have a problem with what you get with 0.8, it is just something like preferred brightness level set by the user is used by the power manager, this what everybody else wanted.
I will close this for now, please re-open in case you have troubles or you want a feature request.
