Quantal has a way to disable the screen lock: Settings → Brightness and Lock →
Lock: Off.
Probably it is possible in Precise too, though I can't check.

Title:
No GUI method to disable screen lock on lid close event
Status in “gnome-power-manager” package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
When I close my laptop lid, and open it again, the screensaver is locked. I'd
like to change this behaviour, I've checked the screensaver preferences and
the
only option that mentions locking the screen ("Lock screen after") is unset. I
think it makes more sense to lock the screen on lid close dependant on the
setting of "Lock screen after" option in screensaver preferences
This is on a recently updated hoary, xscreensaver version 4.16-1ubuntu3.
