Description

Hey.

Totally minor "issue":

When AC is removed, then cinnamon automatically reduces the brightness of the screen (after a while)... which is nice of course.

But when AC is restored, then one has to move the mouse or so first, before it changes the brightness back to the previous one.
It would be nice if it does so automatically, once AC is back.

Thanks,
Chris.

Research direction

Start by tracing Cinnamon's handling of AC removal, screen dimming, and AC restoration, then reproduce the transition without moving the mouse. Done means restoring AC automatically returns the screen to its previous brightness without requiring user input.
