laptop goes to sleep on lid close despite settings

[Marius Gedminas]

Here are my power settings:

    $ gsettings list-recursively 2>/dev/null | grep lid-close | sort -u
    org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power lid-close-ac-action 'nothing'
    org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power lid-close-battery-action 'suspend'
    org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power lid-close-suspend-with-external-monitor false

I have an external monitor connected, so laptop should not go to sleep when I close the lid.

I close the lid.

The screen gets locked. I start typing my password to unlock it, and in the middle of my typing it goes to sleep.

(My laptop takes a few seconds to go to sleep. I hate that too.)

This happens both on battery power and when I'm on A/C power, so neither of the two inhibit mechanisms works!

And now I can't reproduce this any more.
