Public bug reported: I've configured my laptop to suspend when the lid is closed (in gnome- control-center's Power panel). It works ok as long as there is no external display connected. However when I connect my external LCD, laptop IS NOT suspended (external display is turned off though).
I've done some research and found out that problem is in gnome-settings- daemon package: There is code in gsd-power-manager.c in do_lid_closed_action function which checks whether there are any active external outputs and if it finds any, it prevents suspending. I believe that in this case we should honor what's set in gnome-control-center and suspend. Patch which removes this logic is attached.
