Bug#455769: same problem on wheezy + Thinkpad X220T

[Daniel Pocock]

I recently updated a Lenovo X220T to wheezy

I am using the standard wheezy kernel and gnome desktop

$ dpkg --list | grep gnome-power
ii  gnome-power-manager                  
3.4.0-2                            amd64        power management tool
for the GNOME desktop


Here are my settings:

$ gsettings get org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power
lid-close-battery-action
'suspend'

$ gsettings get org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power lid-close-ac-action
'suspend'


So, it should always suspend when I close the lid - but sometimes it
does not suspend

e.g. I have the laptop on my desk.  I remove the AC cable and close the
screen, put the laptop in my backpack.  Walk to the train station, sit
on the train, take out the laptop, it is extremely hot.

On one occasion, it was so hot that the screen had gone off and was
non-responsive, I had to poweroff completely by holding the power button
for 10 seconds and let it cool before I could use it again. 

I am raising this bug to critical, as it meets the definition "makes
unrelated software on the system (or the whole system) break"
