I also see the "mind of its own" brightness changes. It doesn't bother me as much as the "hit the brighter key and the display turns off" behavior I saw before, but it ought to be fixed too. I hadn't had time to research it so I just thought it was the power daemon and could be turned off...if not that's another bug.
As I said before, I'm running 10.04NBR, and it just climbed a plateau to real useability this last month. Now saved settings work, and it's just like a real computer. There are about 50MB of downloads a day to keep it current.
