[Marc Deslauriers <marc.deslauriers@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Here's my scenario:

I work from home, and want to authenticate when I boot my laptop.
Since I'm always alone, I don't want the lock screen to come up, so I use the lock session option in g-c-c to disable the screen lock from activating automatically.
When I leave the house, I want to be able to close my lid, suspend my laptop, and bring it with me, and I want it to ask for a password when it resumes.

When I disable the automatic screen lock in g-c-c, I don't want it to
apply to when I suspend my laptop. This is the behaviour that Ubuntu had
adopted before, and that got changed when Gnome 3 went in, and it caught
users by surprise. (See bugs, #446191, #847814).

Here is the upstream bug/discussion about it:

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).
