Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager
When an external display is attached, the "When laptop lid is closed"
option under the "On AC Power" tab should have a choice for "Never" in
addition to "Blank Screen", "Suspend", "Hibernate" and "Shutdown".
I often run my netbook with an external monitor/kb/mouse (effectively
docked), and the lack of the aforementioned "Never" option forces me to
keep the netbook open, as it will blank the display on the EXTERNAL
monitor when I close the netbook's lid. (the netbook's display is turned
off through the the monitors preferences applet)
