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 is really only a couple of 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)
