[Bug 34389] Re: [Bug 34389] Re: Lid state is incorrect

I agree with this assessment.

As a data point, my laptop (a dell 700m) worked fine with windows XP.

I'm also having a problem where closing the lid sometimes doesn't
suspend.  Also closing the lid while in the process of hibernating
pauses the hibernation -- this is a real problem, the standard usage
pattern is to click "hibernate", close the lid, put it in the laptop
bag.  If I do this now the computer will overheat and/or run out of
batteries fast.  I'm thinking I should file another bug report...
