When in the lock-screen (after a suspend for example) the brightness keys do not work. If you've ever opened up a laptop in the dark it can be quite difficult on your eyes.

It would be nice if the brightness keys were allowed to pass through to underlying processor of those key presses (gnome-settings-daemon i presume?)

I tried on a ThinkPad x300 and Macbook pro 5,5 and neither worked. However, both seem to be performing key press events which cause the curtain to bounce.
