Bug Description

As of gnome-shell 3.5.91-0ubuntu1, closing my laptop lid no longer causes the screen to lock.

This is distinct from bug 1042907 because it persists even when using GDM as the display manager.

Do you have the same problem when running a different desktop, like Unity?

If so, this isn't a gnome-shell bug, but maybe a kernel bug or maybe a gnome-settings-daemon bug.

No, the screen correctly locks on suspend under both Unity and GNOME classic. (I tested all three desktops with a freshly created account.)

Okay, as of gnome-shell 3.5.92-0ubuntu1, a lid close locks the screen when the display manager is LightDM. But it still doesn’t when the display manager is GDM.

Same issues as above in gnome-shell 3.6.0-0ubuntu1. ctrl+alt+L works fine, but screen is automatically unlocked when resuming from suspend.

Thanks Tim Lunn for troubleshooting; it looks like this has already been fixed upstream.
