   Hi,

   why did you chose an ACPI event? I'd expect a uevent (which dbus
   captures etc) to be a more logical choice..

Laziness... :) Just an idea realized in a hurry to dim my laptop panel when it
is in idle (I don't use X11, so no xscreensaver et simila.)  

Anyway I can accommodate it, if someone of you thinks that it is interesting
enough to be carried on the business.

The patch in attachment fixes some silly bugs of the previous version.

Regards,
