 Release-candidate update.1 691 has a /etc/ohm/plugins.d/backlight.ini
 which specifies maximum brightness on startup.  Some medical conditions
 cause a person to be easily dazzled by bright lights, and it probably
 drains the power more quickly as well.  Is there any good reason for
 defaulting to maximum setting?  Could a lower setting be the default?
