After some time of inactivity, the backlight of my laptop is reduced as configured. But it's not restored, when resuming work on the machine. I can adjust the backlight by hand, either Fn-Keys or the "battery and brightness" systray. As a result, I get more and more backlighthelper processes. After one day, I have more than 100 backlighthelper processes on my system: ps -e|grep backlighthelper|wc -l 112 I'm running Gentoo with KF5/Plasma packages from git. Reproducible: Always

On my system backlight levels are restored (more or less) but still I observe one new extra backlight helper process per brightness change. kde-plasma/powerdevil-5.6.3 ps fax | grep backlight | wc -l 13 uptime 09:22:48 up 1:24, 9 users, load average: 0,82, 0,75, 1,00
