after yesterday night (2008-10-15) updates, screen brightness OSD was visible but very buggy.

When brightness increase/decrease keys (Fn+up/down arrows) are pressed even only once, the brightness increases/decreases continuously until it's max/min (like the keys are stuck). Afterwards the desktop simply doesn't work properly; windows can't be moved; console doesn't get the focus when clicked; keyboard doesn't work. Logging out and back in again brings things back to normal.
