Are we really stuck with gdm/kdm/lxdm/...dm implementing it?
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.?
I still don't feel like there has been adequate discussion on where in userspace this needs to be handled. So far all I've seen is what appears to be a GNOME only solution. I'll CC the KDE list to at least get another perspective in here.
