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.
