          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: other
            Status: UNCONFIRMED

         Component: gnome-screensaver

If you have a laptop with external monitor attached, and you close the laptop
lid, the external screen should not blank. Idealy, to save power, heat, etc. the
laptops screen would be shut off, but that's a bonus.

A use case here: watching movies on a TV, you often want to close the laptop
because it's distracting to have two versions of the movie playing.
