Here is the patch I came up with. Basically, when the "idle" callback is called, this will stop it from changing the brightness if idle dimming is disabled. Hope this is suitable - I know one could suppress the idle callback from being called, but it seems that it is used for other things (gscreensaver, etc). If not, then that would be the preferred solution.
