            Bug ID: 357456
           Summary: Power management should allow both locking and
                    blanking screen
           Product: Powerdevil
           Version: 5.5.2
          Platform: openSUSE RPMs
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: plasma-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: rlk at alum.mit.edu

The energy saving settings offers various options for what to do when the
laptop lid is closed (nothing, suspend, hibernate, shut down, blank, lock). 
Unfortunately, it offers no option to both lock the screen and blank it. 
Therefore, if I want to lock the screen when I close the lid, it leaves the
screen powered up even though that's completely useless.  The only way to both
lock and blank the screen when closing the lid is to set it to blank and
manually lock the screen prior to closing it.

Solutions would include always blanking the laptop screen when closing the lid
(on the grounds that the laptop screen is of no use when the lid is closed --
the blanking wouldn't be performed on an external monitor) or offering an
additional option.

IIRC I reported this against KDE4 but it was closed will not fix (against KDE4)
when KDE5 was released.
