Still buggy in 12.10 - the media-keys plugin does not pass toggle events to the power plugin. The attached patch against the upstream git HEAD also works in Ubuntu; I tested it with g-s-d 3.4.2-0ubuntu8

The keyboard backlight up/down buttons correctly adjust the keyboard backlight and display a notification, but the toggle button doesn't. Do we need to handle GPM_BUTTON_KBD_BRIGHT_TOGGLE in addition to GPM_BUTTON_KBD_BRIGHT_[UP,DOWN] in the key-handling code in gpm- backlight-kbd.c?
