In the settings menu on my laptop, there's a Power Management entry
that runs (I think) the Gnome Power Manager, which has a setting to
turn on or off the display dimming functionality.  That could certainly
serve as an example of how to do this, I would think.  It would be cool
to have an adaptive version as you describe, though.
