notify-osd changes the way it supports int32-hints

Patch from Mirco Müller

Hey Ken, are you still working on the patch or has it been tested and is ready for merging?

added the bzr branch for this fix.

to the sponsors: the patch was written by Mirco Müller, can you see that he gets the proper credit in the changelog? Thanks!

wait a sec, there is a build error - i'll send an updated one

I'd like to remove ubuntu-main-sponsors, there are problems with the patch. The patch is against 2.27.1, and the newest release is 2.27.2

I was able to update the patch for all except the 8th hunk (gpm.manager.c, which is now the 7th hunk in this updated patch file). I cannot find where the addition is supposed to be made. Can you please update that hunk against 2.27.2? Thanks.

(the above patch is with my updates for 2.27.2)

Sorry for the extra emails, but I think I found the problem:

Version 2.27.2 eliminated keyboard backlight brightness support:
http://git.gnome.org/cgit/gnome-power-manager/commit/?id=c8a560caf488129c03a4e437ff7bd54f173c2f55
"Remove ambient light sensor support, and keyboard backlight devices"

brightness_kbd_changed_cb is no longer a function in GPM.

Next step: refresh the above patch (comment 6) for 2.27.2 and remove the final hunk.

See attached branch, ready for merge.

Renamed file to match Martin Pitt's most recent commits. Added the description tag Martin added, and refreshed Mirco Muller's patch for 2.27.2. Keyboard brightness support had been dropped in 2.27.2, so that part of Mirco's original patch had been dropped along with the section:
/* display the widget when something else changed the backlight */
in brightness_changed_cb gpm-backlight.c since GPM no longer calls:
gpm_feedback_display_value (backlight->priv->feedback, (float) percentage / 100.0f);
in that function.

To clean up the bug reports, I'm duplicating this bug with bug 406396. This has the added benefit of take it off of the main-sponsors list.
