I just purchase my first dell (inspiron 1525 pre-installed w/ Ubuntu) and I am also experiencing this behavior. However, I notice one additional aspect of this glitch: I always keep the laptop plugged into its power supply. If I adjust the screen intensity to a lower level of intensity, it will remain at the level I've chosen for a random period of time, then it will reset itself back to maximum intensity.
