Desktop "buttons" for easy, one-touch adjustment of backlight brightness

Adjusting brightness by typing into the Terminal quickly became a chore -- Especially with a small virtual keyboard. XFCE Power Manager has a nice slider control, but access via the Notification Area is fidgety on such a small display. Here's my favorite solution, to date:

  1. Drop the Lightbulbs folder into /usr/share/icons.
  2. Drop the .desktop files into /usr/share/applications.
  3. Five brightness options will appear on the Settings menu.
  4. Optionally, drop a couple of the .desktop files onto the Desktop for instant access (/home/username/Desktop).
