Comment 0 for bug 709565

When I boot the laptop and close the lid, the laptop does not suspend. When I run gnome-power-preferences the first time, it lacks the "On Battery Power" tab. But after that, when I close the lid, the laptop suspends as set in the preferences, and running gnome-power-preferences again, it shows all three tabs. If I restart, it again does not suspend, until I run gnome-power-preferences.
