I don't think "Display brightness" should be in here. It could work
pretty much like a "learning mute" (volume mute...). For example:
- Power is on mains
- User sets the brightness -> remember as mains brightness
- User unplugs the power
- Either the brightness for when on battery is known -> restore it
- Otherwise guess 1/2 of current mains brightness, let the user change
it (and save it when changed)
- Plug back in, restore the mains brightness, etc.

The "Put display to sleep" bits should probably be in gnome-
screensaver's capplet.

That'd be 4 less sliders in the dialogue.

Cheers
