Does not suspend when closing laptop lid

[Rainer Rohde]

Suspend does not kick in when closing the lid of my MacBookPro 5,2; it does however work when clicking "suspend" from the system menu.

I would expect suspend to kick in when the lid is closed, as it is configured in System Settings > Power > "When the lid is closed" > Suspend.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Just wanted to add that this seems to be a regression as it worked just fine before...

I have the same problem in a MacBookPro5,5 with nvidia.
