Your patch will only fix the bug when idle dimming is disabled. Ideally, gnome-power-manager should be notified whenever the fn keys are used to change the brightness, so it can update its configuration. If you open the power management preferences dialog, you can see that changes from the fn keys aren't synchronized.
