Bug#766749: mate-power-manager: brightness is not shown while changing brightness using hardware keys
Package: mate-power-manager Version: 1.8.1+dfsg1-1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer, When pressing Fn+Home or Fn+End, the hardware keys to change the display brightness on a Lenovo Thinkpad T60, a small grey (depending on theme) square is shown in the center of the bottom half of the screen, but the actual brightness is not shown. I would expect the new (changed) brightness to be shown in the square, and I remember seeing it before (probably in Linux Mint Debian Edition, MATE 1.6). I have attached an image of the square on a browser background. Note: I submitted this bug on a different system, but the version information etc. should be of the affected system (I copied the full body of the generated bug message). -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.16-2-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages mate-power-manager depends on: ii consolekit 0.4.6-5 ii dbus-x111.8.8-2 ii libatk1.0-0 2.14.0-1 ii libc6 2.19-11 ii libcairo2 1.12.16-5 ii libcanberra-gtk00.30-2.1 ii libcanberra00.30-2.1 ii libdbus-1-3 1.8.8-2 ii libdbus-glib-1-20.102-1 ii libfontconfig1 2.11.0-6.1 ii libfreetype62.5.2-2 ii libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 2.31.1-2+b1 ii libglib2.0-02.42.0-2 ii libgnome-keyring0 3.12.0-1+b1 ii libgtk2.0-0 2.24.25-1 ii libmate-panel-applet-4-11.8.1+dfsg1-1 ii libnotify4 0.7.6-2 ii libpango-1.0-0 1.36.8-2 ii libpangocairo-1.0-0 1.36.8-2 ii libpangoft2-1.0-0 1.36.8-2 ii libunique-1.0-0 1.1.6-5 ii libupower-glib3 0.99.1-3 ii libx11-62:1.6.2-3 ii libxext62:1.3.3-1 ii libxrandr2 2:1.4.2-1 ii libxrender1 1:0.9.8-1 ii mate-notification-daemon [notification-daemon] 1.8.0-2 ii mate-power-manager-common 1.8.1+dfsg1-1 ii notification-daemon 0.7.6-2 ii policykit-1 0.105-7 ii systemd 215-5+b1 ii upower 0.99.1-3 Versions of packages mate-power-manager recommends: ii udisks 1.0.5-1+b1 Versions of packages mate-power-manager suggests: ii mate-polkit 1.8.0+dfsg1-4 -- no debconf information

I also see this on some other laptop when controlling the brightness of the LCD backlight. When running mate-power-manager from the cmdline, I see this message once when I press one of the Fn + brighter/darker keys. (mate-power-manager:3103): GLib-CRITICAL **: Source ID 11 was not found when attempting to remove it @Stefano: any input on this from your upstream side? I remember that this issue was not present when my notebook was still running wheezy (with mate-power-manager from wheezy-backports).
