Comment 2 RHEL Program Management 2011-04-04 01:57:39 UTC 
Since RHEL 6.1 External Beta has begun, and this bug remains
unresolved, it has been rejected as it is not proposed as
exception or blocker.

Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to
propose this request, if appropriate and relevant, in the
next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Comment 3 Richard Hughes 2011-04-05 08:20:24 UTC 
Upstream, we've added a feature to upower to detect if the laptop is docked using the kernel drm drivers. Using this we stop gnome-power-manager from suspending on lid close if docked. I'm not sure how much work it would be to backport tho.
