I have a new laptop now but just to verify this bug I fired up my old laptop, upgraded to 13.04 and the bug still exists for me as well. This is on the same machine I used when I originally reported this bug. One aspect of this that is 100% reproducible now is that when the external monitor is plugged in and I suspend (either by shutting the lid or from the main menu) then it hangs. The screen just goes black and the computer is on but no longer responsive to anything but a hard shut-down. If the external monitor is NOT plugged it then it suspends normally, 100%. I don't recall this being the case before. FYI, the new laptop (Dell 17R SE) works great with dual monitors on 13.04 and in a way I'm glad I had this excuse to upgrade, the new gen machines are amazing!
