I have an update: it seems that the problem with random dims shows up when the gnome-power-manager decides (without apparent reason) that the computer runs on battery, while it runs on AC power. The applet shows that the computer runs on battery, and some random time until charged (???) There is no problem when the power manager recognizes the power source correctly. When gnome-power-manager process is terminated, the brightness is also constant. Simon: it is possible, despite the fact that the behaviour seems related. Would you suggest filing another bug?
