Bug#738612: gnome-session: Suspends at login when lid is closed with external monitor

[Mike Hommey]

Package: gnome-session
Version: 3.8.4-3
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I have a newly installed laptop with systemd as pid 1, and a fresh jessie
install. Most of the time, the laptop is lid closed, with external
keyboard, mouse and monitor plugged in.

When booting, gdm shows up for login. After choosing the user, typing the
password, and validating, the gnome session opens and... the laptop goes
into suspend.

I need to open the lid, unsuspend it, and then reclose the lid so that
the session can be used with the external monitor as the sole output.

Mike
