Having attended two conferences recently (LinuxCon and LinuxPlumbers), I
heard this complaint over and over and over again about both Unity and
Gnome3.
I'm raising this bug to Critical (though I suspect it'll be lowered to
High), nominating for Oneiric, and targeting at the 11.10 release.
I've
I would like to add myself to the list of those who think that there
should be a setting for what happens when laptop lid is closed, in the
hope that if enough users make the point then some action may be taken.

I too am keenly interested in getting this back in the UI, as my bug #
840089 was determined invalid.

Hy!
I can understand the opinion of the gnome developers (even if I can't
agree with them) but as they removed the gconf keys too, that's insane
:(
The best way maybe would be to provide a simple gui for simple users
with an advenced button in the corner (only one more item, that will

Why should a user have to install gnome-tweak (assuming they knew what
gnome-tweak was to begin with)?
This was easily configurable previously, someone just decided that users
wouldn't want to actually prevent their system from suspending when the
lid is closed.

Is there any benefit to NOT allowing users to configure this behaviour
in the system configuration tools that ship with Ubuntu?
