Dave: No worries :)  I actually appreciate your workaround, and learning
about gnome-tweak, something I've never needed before.  Like I said, it
is fine for you and I, but not Mom and Dad (for most samples of Mom and
Dad).  I am just more frustrated that, as Tom points out, this seems to
be a philosophical change, rather than one of any technical merit.

And I'm firmly on the other side of the debate here, as I am strongly
against too much "dumbing down" of Linux.  Make it easier to use for the
average person, sure, but don't make it brain-dead.  One of the BIGGEST
draws to Linux aside from stability is that you can configure SO MUCH so
easily, and limiting this, IMHO, takes away from Linux instead of adding
any real value.

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.
