When a client creatse a screen with backlight 'open' it uses the default of the LCDproc default as expected. If the client uses screen_set to set the backlight to 'flash', and then pack to 'open', then backlight does not stop flashing (it ignores the 'open' settings). Shouldn't it return to the default?
Thanks for the report, I just committed a fix locally. That I will push once testing is complete.
