Laptop cover switch in FC5

Hello all,
There has been a bit of a change between FC4 and FC5 that has bit me.
I have a Dell Laptop that I'm often using with an external monitor.
I've used this with "clone" mode and "dual head mode" and "xinerama" at
different times. Under FC4, I would normally just close the laptop
screen when hooked to the external monitor and work on that monitor. I
found that in FC5, as soon as it hits the cover switch the laptop
activates the screen saver. I think in FC4 it merely executed a "screen
off" for the internal screen which turned off the laptop screen and left
the external screen alone. FC5 now results in both screens blanked
until I open the laptop again and enter the password into the
screensaver.
Anyone have any idea how to get the old behavior back? I can't find
the "hook" that tells it how to behave.
Mike
