Description:
xfce4-power-manager is supposed to have support for changing brightness level. Currently this is broken.

There's a patch in git [0] already that explains and fixes the issue:
The "Backlight" RandR property is a 32-bit integer. This means that the int32 (gint32) type should be used to represent brightness levels. The attached patch does nothing else than changing the brightness level representation from glong to gint32. This fixes the screen auto-dimming issue and brightness panel plugin issue.
