Description Calum 2011-05-05 17:22:53 UTC 
I have my laptop and a dock connected to external monitors. With the laptop lid closed, the power manager will not suspend the external monitors. 

The only solution has been to keep the laptop lid open.

This is on both Ubuntu Maverick and now Natty.

A launchpad bug exists with more information:

Hi,
the downstream bug has been reported a very long time ago, and I'm unable to reproduce this with GNOME 3.4 on Fedora 17.

Please feel free to reopen this bug if the problem still occurs with a newer version of GNOME.
