When the session startup and the panel is fully loaded it automatically appears the brightness dialog then after some seconds it disappears. I've applied the kubuntu backport beta ppa (kde 4.8.90) to my Ubuntu Precise installation. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. startup kde session 2. the brightness popup automatically 3. then after some seconds it closes Expected Results: no brightness popup expected
Created attachment 71913 [details] screenshot of brightness popup
Normally not noticeable for the average user (that uses a splash screen) But definitly visible when plasma crashes and restarts
Confirmed based on comment #2
"Normally not noticeable for the average user (that uses a splash screen)" This is noticeable for every kind of users (what is the meaning of average user????)... I have the splash screen enabled (it is by default) and the issue is reproducible on different machines.
Confirming the bug with 4.9 RC2. Had it only on first startup after upgrade from 4.8, though.
I can confirm the issue, and it happens on each login. Users with slow PCs probably don't see it, but it's clearly visible on my system.

Git commit 70ed17ef99dd33adda271ebc338d82039b191caf by Weng Xuetian. Committed on 12/01/2013 at 15:33. Pushed by xuetianweng into branch 'KDE/4.10'. various fix for battery plasmoid Fix access undefined value warning, when calling function in logic.js, pmSource.data can still be null since it might not connect at that time. When brightness is passively changed from outer environment, don't trigger the dataSource service call with a bool protector called disableBrightnessUpdate. Move more code to DataModel.onDataChanged, under the same idea with: https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/108280/ , hence the plasmoid.status will always be the correct value, the changing of plasmoid.status cause tray make popup unfocus. Remove ugly hack of resetBatteryData in logic.js. Fix some anchor related warning in PopupDialog.qml FIXED-IN: 4.10 Related: bug 311491 REVIEW: 108355 M +14 -7 plasma/generic/applets/batterymonitor/contents/code/logic.js M +9 -11 plasma/generic/applets/batterymonitor/contents/ui/PopupDialog.qml M +20 -13 plasma/generic/applets/batterymonitor/contents/ui/batterymonitor.qml http://commits.kde.org/kde-workspace/70ed17ef99dd33adda271ebc338d82039b191caf
