Comment 13 for bug 70102

Well I got the exactly same effect on my laptop: Samsung X20 since kde 3.5.5 (dapper/edgy) ...

It's all working fine in gnome but in kde since 3.5.5 i get this grey box about the a closed lid.

When having Suspend Option activated first thing that happens on login is my laptop going to suspend. After re-activating everything is fine ... the laptop even susupends after closing the lid ;)

well I don't know what it is but I wanted to notice that gnome does handle the laptop lid right.
