FYI the combination of gnome-power-manager, gnome-screensaver and HAL does this already. It should be trivial to use this from other desktop environments too as setting (and getting) the brightness for back light for the LCD is carried out through an extensible abstract interface in HAL. Right now I think the interface supports IBM Thinkpad, Apple Powerbook + iBook, Toshiba, Panasonic, Asus, Sony. We take patches for other laptops. Btw, I do wonder if the X.org server should provide this interface instead.
