Issues on Arch + Plasma

[mvolf]

I'm having some weird issues on my Gigabyte Aero 15. I'm using Arch Linux and KDE Plasma. I've installed the kde-colord and this resulted in script sort of working. I've added a .desktop file to ~/.config/autostart. When using only this, only the first change of the brightness (using KDE brightness control applet) works. After that first change the controls stop working. However, when I run 'icc-brightness watch' in console it works as expected on every change. I noticed some errors in the console when changing the brightness sometimes. Is it possible that these errors crash the script that's run via the .desktop file and this causes it to stop working?

Here are the errors:

icc-brightness clean doesn't help.
