With 7.10 and Dell Inspiron 6400(1505) the light goes off as soon as lid is 
closed, but after half second turns on whenever the mouse is moved or not.
Killing gnome-power-manager results an even stranger behaviour: the lights go 
off, than turns on for a brief period than turned off again. But moving a mouse 
cases the light to be turned on again.
Mackkie's fix does not do any apparent difference.
Stopping acpid results the light to go off normally as soon as lid is closed, 
but moving a mouse turns it on again.
