I think I have the same problem with Lucid Alpha on Thinkpad X61s: The brightness applet works correctly, but if the system automatically dims the brightness after a set period, the brightness applet still sees the brightness as maximum value. I have to go and change the brightness to some other value for it sync the brightness value.
