Tom: Thanks for the link... that's an interesting read, and unfortunately, they lost me completely at the statement :"The other reason not to include this setting is, of course, that it is another setting and, as we all know, settings kill kittens."
This is NOT "Another" setting, it's an "existing" setting. It did not ADD to the pool of existing settings, it was already there to begin with. And from reading the comments I can see that I am not in the minority in having issue with removing this functionality. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/792636 Title: Power section no longer allows configuration of "when the lid is closed" action in Oneiric Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Binary package hint: gnome-control-center In Natty I was able to configure what happens when the laptop lid was closed. Now that option doesn't exist in the power settings. I tried to set the following gconf options to "nothing", but they had no immediate effect: /apps/gnome-power-manager/buttons/lid_battery /apps/gnome-power-manager/buttons/lid_ac It would be helpful to know a temporary workaround as I close my laptop all the time but I never suspend/hibernate it.
