I've recently upgraded from 9.10 to 10.04 (amd64). The icon for the brightness applet respond to the mouse fine (I can hover and use the middle roll on the mouse to raise/lower brightness - it does tell me it "Cannot get laptop brightness" but is able to change brightness).

I can manually set the brightness by manipulating /proc/acpi/video/UVGA/LCD/brightness.

Output from /proc/acpi/video/UVGA/LCD/brightness
levels: 20 24 28 32 37 43 50 59 69 81 95
current: 95

The slider doesn't seem to get the mouse clicks. It acts as if you have clicked completely outside this area. It's just like when you click on the wireless and then click completely away from it. The wireless drop down disappears but nothing else happens (the mouse click is absorbed)
