> Could you give details on what you mean there?
Hi and thank you for quick response! Maybe I confused you a bit (sorry for that), maybe problem I have is only loosely related to this bug. Let me explain, please:

My first comment there was relevant (exactly) to bug description - I was
confused, if current inconsistency in behavior between two actions (lid
switch or menu item click) done on (on user's explicit) order is bug or
design - because if by design, it will be real problem for tablets (no
lid switch).

My use case is tablet (Acer Iconia W500). There is used Gnome 3 with
Gnome Shell as a desktop environment. Security is serious concern (whole
disk encryption is used) so account is password protected and I
definitely want to get prompt for password after every one resume from
suspend (regardless how it was triggered). My problem is, that I
sometimes resume my machine and it is unlocked (i.e. no password
prompt)!

I belive, it has something to with this (solved) upstream bug:

 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=650464

And that it is also solvable with this trick:

 https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GNOME#Screen_is_not_locked_after_resume
 (maybe for some background also there - https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GNOME#Screen_is_not_locked_after_resume)

But, this option is not available in gsettings schemas in Ubuntu (reason
for this is probably mentioned there -
http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2011/05/23/%23ubuntu-desktop.html#t14:55).

So right now, I am reliant only to ugly workaround: switch account -
suspend from LightDM screen - resume - "switch" back to my running
session (which fortunately need password everytime).

> If you do care about security and set your box to enter a password on login you probably want a password on resume as well (it's not very different from boot).
This is exactly I wish - but also reliably.

Title:
  Screen locked on lid close, suspend, user switch

Status in “gnome-settings-daemon” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “gnome-settings-daemon” source package in Precise:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  If I suspend my laptop by closing the lid, I get a password prompt
  when I open it again. This doesn't occur when I suspend using the
  gnome-shell "suspend" menu entry.

  For information, this happens when running a gnome-shell session. I
  have disabled "lock screen" in the "screen" settings. This used to
  work perfectly until very recently (probably after one of my daily
  oneiric upgrades).
