I added the upstream bug watch. However I'm not in agreement with the
reclassification of this as high. This bug means that someone could
close their laptop lid and think the machine is suspended when it isn't,
which can have severe consequences. It's also a regression due to the
recent changes in g-s-d.

I'm also adding xserver-xorg-video-intel to the bug, as I'm beginning to
think the root cause of the issue may lie here. libgnome-desktop first
queries with RandR to see whether or not the output drives a laptop
panel, and obviously this is failing to report the status correctly. I
see that there's some code in intel_display.c that's commented out to
treat eDP similarly to LVDS, due to a bug [1] that marked as being
fixed. It's a guess, but maybe this is why RandR fails to recognize the
eDP output as driving a laptop panel?
