You have been subscribed to a public bug:
At Ottawa Linux Symposium, it was common to see people walking around
with their laptops half-open because they didn't want them to sleep.
Whether wardriving, Web serving, or music playing, some people do not
want their PCs to sleep. Please add a right-click option to the battery
status menu "Allow standby". It should be checked by default.
When you uncheck this option, Gnome should:
* display a dialog box:
----
Warning
----
Some laptops overheat if they cannot stand by when closed.
[ ] Do not show this again
[ OK ]
----
* change the battery status icon to a coffee mug icon (this means "computer is
caffeinated and will not sleep")
* and the computer should never sleep. Whether you close the lid, or leave the
computer alone for a long time, it should not sleep.
