Public bug reported:

I'm running Xubuntu 11.10 64-bit, and I am referring to settings under
Xfce Settings Manager > Power Manager > On Battery > Monitor. If I have
"reduce screen brightness when computer is inactive" enabled, and I set
the level to (for example) 20%, and then I am using my computer on (for
example) 10% brightness, it will "dim" UP to 20% on inactivity, which
obviously does not save power, which is the intended usage of the
feature. I propose that whenever the current brightness value is below
the "dimming" brightness setting, the screen should not change
brightness upon inactivity, since it makes no sense to brighten up on
inactivity.
