Just fired up the T40.  I ran 'watch tail /var/log/acpid'.  fired up X
on a user and ran gpsdrive.  Closed the lid, waited for a minute or 2,
and opened te lid.  There was gpsdrive.  ISTR if left closed for a
half hour or so I need to touch an Alt key to get the screen to
unblank.

The log entry showed, in addition to what you got was
------
notifing client 3761[0:0]
executing action "/etc/acpi/actions/lm_lid.sh button/lid LID 00000080
00000002
BEGIN HANDLER MESSAGE
Laptopmode enabled, not active [unchanged]
END HANDLER MESSAGE
action exited with status 0
completed event "button/lid LID 00000080 00000002

Prior to the messages you saw I also have
1 client rule loaded
-----

The /etc/acpi/actions/lm_lid.sh script is from the laptop-mode-tools
package.
