Version: unspecified (using KDE 4.6.0) OS: Linux After an upgrade to KDE 4.6.0 LCD brightness OSD slider shows up every time brightness changes, even after automatically generated events. It should pop only when a user changes brightness using powermanagement widget slider or hardware buttons. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Wait without touching mouse or keyboard until LCD dims automatically (after a time defined in the current power management profile). 2. Move a mouse or press any key to restore default LCD brightness. Actual Results: Brightness OSD shows up. Expected Results: Brightness OSD doesn't show up as the display was only temporarily dimmed. In previous KDE versions (notably 4.5.x) this OSD never showed up on automatic brightness changes.
You are right, accepting the bug
Hello, Laptop with openSUSE11.4 / KDE final. In power mgt profile setting I have reduced display brightness. The system allways asks for root password if it awake from sleep, since it want to increase display brightness. Is this related to this bug. Regards, Frans

Also same in KDE 4.11
