I agree with the previous post! Thinking it was safe to assume that the laptop would go into suspend is quite bad considering that a) it doesn't lock the screen and b) does indeed overheat badly when putting it back into it's case after work or so.

Suspend in other use-cases works ok (e.g. when invoked from system menu). I've done some research and problem is, that gnome-settings daemon thinks that there are active external outputs - in such case suspend is skipped. Have a look at method do_lid_closed_action in gsd-power- manager.c. This method uses gnome_rr_output_is_laptop method from gnome-rr.c to find out, whether output is built-in or external. On my notebook output->name is "default" and hence output is considered to be an external one (even though there are no external outputs connected).
