Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager

gnome-power-manager configuration dialog should provide an option to just disable the laptop screen and enable the external one when closing the lid while AC powered.

It currently only offers a 'blank screen' option, which not only disable the laptop screen, but also the external one.
