Today I powered up and found brightness was already at its lowest.

So sometimes brightness levels are remembered through boot for me,
but not always.

Maybe a burglar alarm can be attached to the brightness, so that
whenever it is tampered with, a syslog entry will be made, so we can
tell what programs try to meddle with the brightness setting.

If you are confortable recompiling the kernel, I can send you a patch with
that "burgar alarm". Just tell me exactly which kernel you're using.

(Too bad stock kernels here on sid,
$ apt-cache policy $@
linux-image-2.6.25-2-686:
Installed: 2.6.25-7
don't have such a feature, as I dare not get deeper than stock kernels.)
