Here's a blog post about the issue from the point of view of a GNOME 3 developer: http://afaikblog.wordpress.com/2011/02/03/on-laptop-lids-and- power-settings/ Their reasoning for this change is: "The vast majority of people do not like lots of settings" While I can understand that philosophy, the fact is that there ARE lots of settings available and GNOME 3 is just making them harder to get to. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/792636 Title: Power section no longer allows configuration of "when the lid is closed" action in Oneiric To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/792636/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
