No, I think what we need to do is to teach GPM how to turn off the
internal panel when docked and with the lid closed. The only missing
piece is for the kernel to export some kind of sysfs boolean saying
"in-dock". From talks with mjg59, detecting a dock is pretty hard.

By GPM I'm guessing you mean gnome-power-manager? So each desktop environment
needs to implement this? Does gpm run before login so that it is configured
properly at login time? Who's needs handle it for KDE, LXDE, XFCE, etc.?
