Actually here's a better question: will this patch allow *suspend* (not
just screen blanking) when the laptop lid closes?  I saw in another bug
that several apps are getting dbus calls added for various reasons to
prevent suspend.

This is a *really* bad idea.. it damages laptops!  If the user has left
headphones plugged in or muted the sound, it will prevent the laptop
from suspending when the lid closes, which means overheating in the
laptop and damaged components and shorter hardware lifespan.

Laptop lid close should trump all, for hardware safety if for no other
reason.
