I'd like to confirm of this bug with gnome-power-manager 2.24.0-0ubuntu8 on kernel 2.6.27-7 on a Dell XPS M1330. I've tested this in a guest account and both with and without "visual effects" (compiz). Killing gnome-power-manager makes the brightness controls work correctly but is not optimal.

Like Joakim Andersson above I had previously added "blacklist video" to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist and removing this solves the immediate problem of losing keyboard focus (but removes a workaround for bug 207473).
