OK just want to update--this seems to be working for me now. I don't know what could have changed that fixed this, but here is what changed on my system since I reported the problem:

Maybe it was something else. I am currently running with power management disabled under xscreensaver--gnome-power-manager seems to be working as intended now. -Brian -- system won't suspend on lid close https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/400097 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-power-manager in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
