Oh please.
I've never seen a laptop that will not cause a poweroff in hardware if the operating system isn't doing its job. This is also not a critical issue. If gnome-power-manager were to go berserk and do the equivalent of "rm -rf /", or "kill -9" on all processes on the system, or something similar, that would be a critical bug in the "makes the whole system break" sense. As it is, gnome-power-manager just *doesn't* do something it's supposed to do. It's not even close to being critical in that sense. I agree that it's probably a problem, and that it'd be good if we were to fix it before the release; but anything above "important" strikes me as unnecessary severity inflation. (on a more personal note, why oh why would you ever want the system to suspend when you close the lid? That's what a suspend button is for. If my laptop is compiling something, I do *not* want it to suspend when I close the lid, thankyouverymuch. Oh well) -- Copyshops should do vouchers.
