Review request for Plasma and KDE Usability.


Repository: plasma-workspace


Description
-------

Some graphics drivers, notably Intel, turn off the backlight completely when 
brightness reached zero, which is also in the spec (0 = off, 1 = very dim) but 
imho that's unexpected. To prevent the user from accidentally turnign the 
screen off, especially when keyboard brightness controls don't work, which 
sadly still happens quite often, the slider breaks free from the user's drag 
(by becoming disable for two (perhaps 1 is enough?) seconds, so we also catch 
the mouse wheel case) and displays a warning (which stays there until screen 
brightness is dialed up again).

Testing
-------

Works pretty well, I just realized I forgot the mousewheel-on-trayicon case. 
Also, I'm open to wording suggestions since it sounds more like "we suck, sorry 
about that". (Note in the screenshot I used the mouse wheel, hence the 
displayed 4% rather than 5)
