Title:
  screensaver not shown on external display when lid is closed

Status in “gnome-screensaver” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gnome-screensaver

  On EEE PC 1000HA, Maverick, gnome-screensaver 2.30.0-1ubuntu1:
  - laptop is connected to external monitor via VGA cable
  - in power manager, 'when laptop lid is closed' => 'do nothing'
  - in monitor preferences, the internal display is off, external is on
  - laptop lid is closed and everything appears to work fine on the external display

  When screensaver activates (either by timeout or 'lock screen'),
  nothing is displayed on the external monitor; if the laptop lid is
  opened, the screensaver is displayed on the external monitor; if the
  lid is closed again, the external display goes blank (but does not
  DPMS-sleep). The unlock dialog is always rendered properly on the
  external screen; only the screensaver is impacted.

  Expected: all video output rendered on the external display; lid state ignored when internal display is disabled.
  Got: for screensaver only, the lid state is not ignored, even if the external display is used.
