I also noticed that the option to clone outputs is always getting re-
enabled - it seems just to ignore it when disabled by the user.

Maybe this workaround can help you also in the suspend case:

meaning of flickering and resolution changes (which also happened e.g. when

I don't know to what extent it relates to this issue, but there is a
difference in behavior on my Lucid installation between pressing the
suspend-button, and closing the lid (with the system configured to
suspend on lid-close).

The gconf thing, whilst very hacky, did the trick for me. seems I'm having to
use it a lot lately :(
I now have a Do Nothing in the menu. Yay! Why wasn't it the default?
@Nicolo, the closed screen should still blank, the hardware switch is

Yes but in this way the laptop monitor won't blank (it is enabled but
you don't see it because the lid is closed)

I agree with previous writer.
Here's also quick terminal solution from forum:
gconftool-2 --type string --set /apps/gnome-power-manager/buttons/lid_ac
nothing
gconftool-2 --type string --set /apps/gnome-power-manager/buttons/lid_battery
nothing

I also have the problem, that when I close my laptop's lid that my
external lcd is blanked.
But I found a way to prevent this. You have to start: gconf-editor (via
terminal)
There you can find the options you need at:
/apps/gnome-power-manager/buttons
You can change the parameter: lid_ac to
This has not been a problem with my Dell XPS 1330 laptop with Janty or
Karmic , until the latest round of fixes this monrning. It is 100%
reproducible.
If you shut the lid on the laptop , it now blanks the external monitor
screen. As I wish to use my laptop in the office this is a massive
problem

Thank you for bringing this bug to our attention. Unfortunately a paper
cut should be a small usability issue that affects many people and is
quick and easy to fix. I'm afraid this bug can't be addressed as part of
this project.
This is not the setup of an average user and hence not a papercut.
mac_v, I'm pretty sure the darken screen on lid close is a default
feature. You're right that this only affects laptop users with external
monitors though.

@Scott Ritchie:
Actually, if i'm not mistaken , the default is standby on lid close.
I always had to change that after every install.

We might want to examine that default too. By chance does it standby
even when there's an external monitor too?

Confirming, this one annoys me personally.
In order to use my docking station I have to plug in my computer and
then hit the switch displays button, requiring me to open my laptop.
Once it's no longer outputting to the laptop screen I then close the
laptop, but my monitor output goes dark until I
