Michael, in fact, now the problem went away, even with an unpatched version of guidance-powermanager. Even the screen brightness adaption works now well on my etch system. I logged into the machine (ssh -X localhost) to make sure that I pick up the powerdev group membership. I did not expect that I have to restart dbus, because I did not modify the dbus config files. Weird. Is it required to restart dbus after a user was added to powerdev, i.e. only /etc/group was modified? At least that would explain what I observed. Lure offered help to the Debian distribution and I wanted to find a person who can give Lure the right information, such that Debian can get the help. I did not want to flood your the inbox (or whatever is the reason you do not want me to spread Lure's offer helping out).
