Title: xbacklight backed

I've implemented xbacklight backed for screen backlight management. It works fine for me.
It it obvious way, I'm surprising, why did not you implemented it early? I guess, you disagree this solution by some reasons.

Also, it will be better to use direct Xcb Randr API call, rather then forking xbacklight, but I haven't much skill to do it (I haven't found a good documentation)
