Ok, here is what the gnome developer told me:

"This option has been removed from the pref dialog, and it seems that 
documentation has not been updated. The selector menu layout has been reworked 
so that such an configuration option is no longer needed. In the other hand, if 
you can't see the selector menu by clicking on the applet, you need to set the 
SUID bit for the cpufreq-selector file.
Typically:
# chmod 4755 /usr/bin/cpufreq-selector
Automatically the selector menu will appear by clicking again on the applet. 
You don't need to reboot the applet."

So, please either by default chmod the cpufreq applet, or add it to the
keyring. Because the way it is now, it is a useless applet taking space,
because it does not let you change CPU frequencies or tell your laptop
to go to powersave mode or not. Only root would be able to do that, and
there is no root user on ubuntu.
