I accidentally nominated this for fixing in Karmic's release. Oops. I fuzzed out and thought it was asking me to pick the branch it was affecting. My apologies.
Anyway, regarding the bug, I agree that this is a regression. This is functionality that was more or less required for using an external monitor unless your laptop happens to have a Fn-button function for turning off the screen. Even on laptops with such a function, it may send suspend signals to the video hardware, thus putting both the LCD panel and the VGA out into DPMS suspend or off. As I use my laptop(s) connected to external monitors and with the lid mostly closed (cracked open a bit for airflow), this is a serious issue for me. -- [Regression] No "do nothing" for laptop lid closed action https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/416236 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
