Title:
  Keyboard/mouse actions on laptop should not turn on screen with lid
  closed

Status in GNOME Screensaver:
  Expired
Status in gnome-screensaver package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager

  My laptop (a Dell Inspiron 6000) has multimedia buttons on the front
  that can be used when the lid is closed.  My g-p-m settings are to
  blank the screen when the lid is closed.

  However, when I press the button (e.g. the volume) with the lid
  closed, I can see the screen turn back on inside the laptop.  What's
  worse is that it never turns back off after that, even after the
  customary screensaver delay.

  Duplicate bug #107399 reports the same behavior when moving an
  external mouse.

  Steps to reproduce:
  1. Set g-p-m to blank the screen with the lid closed.
  2. Close the lid.
  3. Press a multimedia button, move an external mouse, etc.
  4. Wait for the screensaver to turn on and/or the screen to turn off; no response.
