Bug#919914: gnome-tweaks now equates "don't suspend on lid close" with "don't lock on lid close" (security issue)

Package: gnome-tweaks
Version: 3.30.2-1
Severity: grave
Tags: security

Recently, disabling the setting "Suspend when laptop lid is closed"
seems to have started preventing *any* action on lid close, including
locking the screen; disabling that setting adds a startup file to run
/usr/lib/gnome-tweak-tool/gnome-tweak-tool-lid-inhibitor, which inhibits
*any* action on the lid switch. This is a security issue.

I disable suspend on lid close, but I *always* need the screen to lock
when I close the lid.
