Eep!

I added this at the end of my script:
gconftool-2 -s "/system/osso/dsm/display/display_dim_timeout" 30 -t INT
gconftool-2 -s "/system/osso/dsm/display/display_blank_timeout" 30 -t INT

Now after I've restarted MCE again, the dim and blank times remain the same like they were before (30 seconds each).

Is there a way to catch what these two values are at the beginning of the script and then enter them back in afterward?

Like using variables or whatever?

All that's left is to get a better handle on the brightness setting, which goes weird after MCE restart, and then I'm gold.
