+ [i965gm] Closing and opening lid sometimes leads to screen ENDLESSLY BLINKING

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager
  
  Sometimes, on my laptop running latest Jaunty, there is strange
  behavior. If I close and then open lid, the screen starts blinking
  endlessly, redrawing window decorations. It is highly annoying and makes
  laptop unusable.
  
  Doing ctrl-alt-F21 does not help, reclosing the lid does not work.
  
  The following messages fiull Xorg.log with the same frequency as
  blinking:
  
  (II) PM Event received: Capability Changed
  I830PMEvent: Capability change
  
  (II) PM Event received: Capability Changed
  I830PMEvent: Capability change
  
  etc
  
  What I noticed is that if I click on SCREEN BRIGHTNESS applet and bring
  up the slider for screen brightness, blinking stops while the slider is
  up.
