The problem with the laptop lid closed when the monitor is connected. When i close laptop lid, secondary monitor(CRT) is turn off, but if i move mouse monitor is on(laptop monitor and secondary in mirror mode, and i change parametrs dconf>org>gnome>settings daemon>plugins>power : "Laptop lid close action when on AC" and "Laptop lid close action on battery" to "do nothing" and this is not help to prevent switch off of external monitor)...then i start video player(totem or VLC or Smplayer) and start to watch video and see a lags(1 sec freezes) in video. When i open the laptop lid (both monitors start reconfigure) and video has no lags. My laptop configure is Core™ i3-2310M + Nvidia GeForce 540m + 8GB RAM ubuntu 13.04

As a curious detail if I close the lid right after switching on the laptop, before Ubuntu starts up, it works as expected. Of course, I have set the Energy configuration to do nothing on closing the lid, and I agree that the laptop screen in that situation should go black, but not the external screen. There is a similar bug filled against previous versions of Ubuntu (#416236) that was considered a regression, but in that case there was a workaround using gconf-editor to manually edit the settings for the gnome-power-manager, but there is no such a entry now in 12.04.
