Comment 158 for bug 1303736

@MJF

Please note that for the fix to apply, one of the following must first be done:

1. With a user that has logged in prior to installing the fixed packages, open Light Locker Settings from the Settings Manager, and do the following:
1a. Turn "Enable Light Locker" Off. Click "Apply".
1b. Turn "Enable Light Locker" On. Click "Apply".
Afterwards, the following command should output "false":
$ xfconf-query -c xfce4-power-manager -p /xfce4-power-manager/logind-handle-lid-switch
false

2. Create a new user. With the recently updated xubuntu-default-settings package, the setting enabled above will be included with the new user account.

3. Installing Xubuntu 14.04.1 from the newly released image. As above, with the updated xubuntu-default-settings, all new users have the correct default setting to avoid this issue.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
