I'm inclined to close this bug, as it got horribly messed up due to the merging and by having gone through different stages of GNOME 2 → 3.0 → 3.2 where functionality got shifted around several times and the merged bugs were actually different ones.
What's relevant for gnome 3.2 is gnome-settings-daemon (gnome-power-manager is basically gone) As already mentioned, gsd's power plugin is the one triggering the screen blank on lid-close. I hope you don't mind filing a fresh report against gnome-settings-daemon The important settings here are org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power lid-close-ac-action 'blank' org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power lid-close-battery-action 'blank' org.gnome.desktop.screensaver lock-enabled true bug title something like screen is not locked on lid-close when lid-close action is 'blank' Thanks, Michael -- Why is it that all of the instruments seeking intelligent life in the universe are pointed away from Earth?
