i really dislike such magical behaviours.

it leads to situations where people scroll accidently over the icon and the 
screen changes brightness. many people won't put those two actions together in 
their mind (after all, it shows a battery, not a screen!).

with the popup, it'll be an easy matter of click->move->scroll wheel.

this is easy enough to do and much safer. it's not like you adjust the screen 
brightness constantly anyways, right?
