Bug Description
My laptop is plugged in, and as you can see (in the attached screenshot) I've selected to "Do Nothing" when the lid of my laptop is closed. However, each time I close the lid, it goes into "suspend" mode. I've even set it to "Do Nothing" for both "unplugged" and "plugged". No matter what I select, when I close the lid, it goes into suspend mode.
Right now, I'm trying to watch a movie on my big screen tv (as a secondary monitor). I'd like to shut my laptops lid (powering its native monitor off), while the movie plays on the external TV monitor. However, I'm unable to do this because the gnome-power-manager won't honor the power settings as they are shown in the attached screenshot.
