This is supposed to be configurable in the energy options, set the brightness to the desired level and it will always be used. If you use a laptop you will also need to configure the level for battery mode as well...
I found that Gnome has some issues about lcd panel brightness, e.g. if I run on battery mode and set the brightness manually to a given level and leave the laptop unattended for 10 seconds it will go back to the preset brightness when I take control back. Same goes when on A/C mode except it takes longer so goes unnoticed more easily. I believe all those settings should be saved somewhere and restored - at least for A/C mode.
EDIT: For gnome3 this does not work (at least for me).
