Note: these steps MUST be performed on a laptop and it must be configured to lock the screen when the laptop lid is closed.
1. Login to Gnome
2. Open GMenu
3. WITHOUT closing the gmenu, close the laptop lid.
4. Open laptop lid again

Note: This was done on Feisty, but i think it would be reproducible in Gutsy. |
