Light Locker problems - existing bug reports

[Jimmie Houchin]

I have already submitted the report at:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/light-locker/+bug/1304064

but yes, this one appears to be one of the problems I described.
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/light-locker/+bug/1303736

I don't remember seeing this as a suggestion when I was submitting the 
report.

But this also does not address the strange artifact that Light Locker 
will suspend the computer if the screen is locked immediately upon the 
lid being closed. Very frustrating. I stops all work I have going on.

Should I submit that as a separate bug. I did describe it in the 
previous bug submission. I am new to submitting bugs to Ubuntu and am 
not sure how broad or how narrow the submission should be.

Thanks for your help and guidance.

Jimmie
