See the discussion on the ML about this. We need a solution for this, it would 
break now again (partly) KPowersave, powersaved and I assume also g-p-m. This 
change is now the 3. change in this area:

 8873d79ec94d921e2950d1b860c79be39df30c4f and
 be426425d6e3629b39b90c9a468a875e446f0785
   (changed addons/prober to return INT32 instead of UINT32)
 7b159b55d6398d2d240817276ae27ed68f11deda
   (fix addons/prober to return UNIT32 instead of INT32)
reverted with:
 c7f2d8ce617970c3636a61061b8954bdeffe716a
   (now again addons return INT32)

This is really annoyoing. We need a common return type for addons/programms 
_and_ scripts. At least the same interfaces should return the same type 
independent of the way of implementation (via scripts or addons in case of 
the brightness interface).
