Closing lid on a laptop with nvidia proprietary drivers

Greetings,

I am having problems with this bug:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-desktop3/+bug/951479

Not sure why there aren't more people who noticed it, but this is a
rather serious issue. Closing the lid of my laptop is supposed to put my
laptop to sleep. Now, a bug will prevent this and this in some cases
could be harmful for the computer.

I know that this is a problem with nvidia proprietary drivers and that
nvidia should fix this, but this is a rather serious issue and if
someone provides a patch, is there a hope to get it in 12.04?

Regards,
David
