Lately my 11.4/kde 4.6.3 machine will pop up a request for root's password when I wake it from suspend to ram.

Often when I'm finished with the laptop, I will simply close the lid because suspend to ram is set up and works very well.

Often I will close the lid when the screen is already dark, because powersave has kicked in due to sitting there unused for a while, and the powersave profile says to dim the screen.

Then when I resume the machine by simply opening the lid again, it will be rather dim, at some point in the process it will ask for root's password to adjust brightness.

Since I have keyboard key combinations for brightness, I simply ignore this and brighten it up manually and the message usually goes away.

So the question is, why does it need root to brighten the display when it didn't need root to dim it, and why does this only happen upon resume from suspend to ram if (and apparently only if) I close the lid with the screen already blanked out.

There are some problems in KDE's policykit implementation on openSUSE it seems.
