I noticed your bug report searching bugzilla. Though, in my case the
brightness keys stopped working in xfce. Specifically, pkexec was
complaining that it couldn't find my $SHELL in system shells.
Still, I'd expect the list of available shells in s-c-u to be read
from /etc/shells directly, so the bug you're seeing seems to be caused
by bash update as well.
