I have a thinkpad E520, I don't use GNOME, I use KDE but I run my own power manager written in python (long story).
Anyway, to get the events my script reads from /var/run/acpid.socket, and sometimes I have the same problem, so I guess this rules out gnome/kde completely? On a side note, it is a well known and common problem of laptops that sometimes they do that, the same problem was also reported on macbook pro using osX. Users are supposed to *check* before they put the laptop in the bag. Bye -- Salvo Tomaselli
