Some of the basics are:

  • When the lid is closed, the computer must suspend
  • Just because I have music playing, my laptop must not refuse to suspend when I ask it to
  • When the user changes the brightness, he doesn't appreciate if the computer turns it right back down again

There are only a few situations where I can see not wanting to suspend on lid close:

  • when docked
  • when using an external display (watching a movie on a TV)
  • and, of course, when explicitly asked not to

Other details:

  • The cursor should not blink (GTK+ has a cursor-blink-timeout setting for stopping any cursor blinking after a configurable time without user interaction)
