Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager
In Hardy Beta the current default behaviour on closing your laptop's lid
is to blank the screen. This is a mistake because it increases the
likelihood of users cooking their laptops in their backpacks if they
fail to realise that their machines haven't actually suspended. Of
course it is trivially easy to change this behaviour from the gnome
system menu, but that is not necessarily immediately obvious (it took me
a couple of weeks to clock this, for example).
In any case, I would hazard a guess that the users who are most
concerned about what happens when the lid is closed are people who are
on the move and who therefore need to be able to pack up their gear as
quickly as possible, which means being able to suspend their machines at
the drop of a hat.
Therefore for both these reasons I believe It would be far better to
make suspend-to-ram the default behaviour on shutting the lid.
