Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: kde-guidance-powermanager

This problem seems to be new in Kubuntu Hardy, I've been using Kubuntu
since Dapper on this laptop and didn't have this problem before.

The symptoms are; when I boot the system (or restart X for that matter),
after logging in and KDE starts guidance-power-manager; it detects that
the laptop lid is closed (which obviously isn't) and performs the action
associated with it - which in my case is suspend.

I can work around the problem by closing the laptop lid, reopening it,
and waking the laptop up. From that point on it works fine (it suspends
and wakes up properly when I close the lid again and wake it up again).

I can also work around the problem by changing the action to doing
nothing, but I quite like the feature of suspending when the lid is
closed, and it was working fine up till Gutsy.

My laptop is an HP Pavillion ze4900, using intel 82852/855GM graphics.
kde-guidance, kde-guidance-powermanager and guidance-backends are
0.8.0svn20080103-0ubuntu16.1.

Others have been having the same problem (from the forums):-
