Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager

gnome-power-manager doesn't handle the standby well,
normally it adjusted to have 50% brightness only on battery power, if I unplug the AC it works fine, but after resuming from standby I get my machine back with 100% brightness. Strangely the FN Keys are working ti dim it back.

I would expect gnome-power at minimum to see that there is no AC and auto dim to 50% b. if it doesn't recognize the previous settings before standyby.

If I open gnome-power manualy after resuming, by right clicking on the battery icon in status bar it dims to 50%
So could it be possible that gnome-power is paused after standby?
