--- Comment #4 from Nate Graham <n...@kde.org> ---
There's some logic to the idea of separating brightness settings from battery
settings. All systems will have brightness control, while not all have any
batteries or battery-powered devices connected.
We need a place for laptop users to be able to easily see their battery status,
and there are plans afoot to add power profiles to that applet too. So we can't
just delete the battery applet and make all of its settings only accessible in
System settings.
Thus, we would need two applets: one for screen/keyboard brightness, and
another one for battery and power management stuff. Doing this would result in
people with laptops and battery-powered connected devices gaining an additional
System Tray icon. I guess that's not a serious problem, but some people really
don't like having tons and tons of items in their System Tray. Also, when you
want to save power, reducing the brightness is one of the best ways to do it,
so it makes a bit of sense to have brightness be in the power management
applet.
Undecided. Perhaps the icon itself could somehow be changed to visually
incorporate brightness as well?
