--- Comment #11 from Kai Uwe Broulik <kde at privat.broulik.de> ---
The threads complaining about the OSD you have linked do not apply to the
Plasma 5 world. In Plasma 4.x the OSD would show up whenever the brightness
changed, for whatever reason, such as the system automatically dimming it. In
Plasma 5, however, the OSD only ever shows up when the user manually changed
the brightness. The former being the biggest annoyance which has been one of
the main goals in the 5.x OSD design. The other one, "lightum", is using DBus
interfaces that I do not intend to be used directly by third parties.
If, and only if, such an option is to become upstream, it has to be consistent
across all the components using it (volume controls, keyboard controls, etc)
and configurable in a central place, not every single one having an option to
turn it off.
