Bug Description
Binary package hint: kubuntu-desktop
When I close my laptop lid the screen turns off but it doesn't fully suspend the way it should. When I open the lid back up the screen comes back on but doesn't ask for a password to unlock the session and resume working despite having chosen this option in the power management settings.
Additionally, in some cases, if I unplug the laptop while the lid is closed when I plug it back in and open the lid I can access the machine for about 20 seconds without having to type my password to unlock the screen. Then after that period of time elapses the laptop makes a sound indicating the power was plugged back in and also produces a garbled screen and eventually locks itself, requiring me to then type my password to unlock the screen. I cannot always reproduce this specific part of the problem though.
~$ lsb_release -rd

Moving to kdebase-workspace since that stuff probably ought to be handled by powerdevil.
Is this issue still present in either 9.04 or 9.10?
