Suspend/blank screen semantics gone funny after upgrade to edgy

[Nick Moffitt]

I ran Dapper on this Thinkpad T43, and have always had the following gnome power manager configuration for lid-close events:

 * if on AC, blank screen
 * if on battery, suspend

It used to be that if I closed the screen on AC and subsequently unplugged the power, it would then suspend. But now it remains on with the blank screen until the power has drained down.

Also, when I remember that it is doing this, and open up to the locked screen dialogue, unplug, and re-close, it resumes in an unworking state where I can't unlock the screen and the hard drive seems to churn.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue that you reported is one that should be reproducible with the live environment of the Desktop CD of the development release - Gutsy Gibbon. It would help us greatly if you could test with it so we can work on getting it fixed in the next release of Ubuntu. You can find out more about the development release at http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/ . Thanks again and we appreciate your help.
