    Power Management: No "Do Nothing" option

    I just upgraded to 10.4 and there is no longer an option to "Do Nothing" when the laptop lid is closed. Since I use a dock and external monitors, this is a critical setting. If I choose "Blank Screen", it blackens my externals... and I certainly don't want it to suspend or hibernate just because I dock the laptop....

    Any fixes for this???

    yep. Press alt+F2 and run

    Code:
     gconf-editor
    browse to

    /apps/gnome-power-manager/buttons/lid_ac
    and
    /apps/gnome-power-manager/buttons/lid_battery

    set it both to "nothing"

    Awesome. Thanks

    Perfect. I had found gconf-editor by browsing other threads, but didn't locate the right fields nor values to set. Many thanks!
