[Bug 1239293] Re: Display settings control box appears on power event

[Stevan Kew Ell]

Is anyone able to comment on this issue?  I've not been able to find
anything other than an old reference to the same issue, with just one
reply that suggested having a look under /etc/acpi for any pointers, and
no resolution noted.  A quick grep of that directory and below shows no
reference to display at all.

While it "feels" like an acpi issue, I've got no real confirmation of
that supposition, and it could be something else.Sometimes multiple
display settings dialogs appear, sometime just one.  It seems to be
restricted to screen brightness alteration and inserting or removing AC
power.

Title:
  Display settings control box appears on power event

Status in “acpid” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I suspect this may be a problem with acpid or acpi-scripts.  When I
  remove or insert the power adaptor, or change screen brightness, the
  display settings control box (process "xfce4-display-settings
  --minimal") appears.  There's np obvious link between these events,.
  This is on a clean installation, on a brand new laptop.
