Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager

My laptop (a Dell Inspiron 6000) has multimedia buttons on the front
that can be used when the lid is closed.  My g-p-m settings are to blank
the screen when the lid is closed.

However, when I press the button (e.g. the volume) with the lid closed,
I can see the screen turn back on inside the laptop.  What's worse is
that it never turns back off after that, even after the customary
screensaver delay.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Set g-p-m to blank the screen with the lid closed.
2. Close the lid.
3. Press a multimedia button.
4. Wait for the screensaver to turn on and/or the screen to turn off; no 
response.

** Affects: gnome-screensaver (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed
