Here is a commandline workaround for the current lack of reasonable GUI
configuration (and lack of sensible defaults):

  gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power lid-close-ac-
action 'nothing'

Per the "lack of sensible defaults" remark above, I'm also marking this
bug as affecting gnome-settings-daemon; having the machine suspend on
lid close when connected to power is an infuriating regression.

** Also affects: gnome-settings-daemon (Ubuntu)
   Importance: Undecided
       Status: New

** Changed in: gnome-settings-daemon (Ubuntu Oneiric)
       Status: New => Triaged

Title:
  [Regression] Power section no longer allows configuration of "when the
  lid is closed" action in Oneiric

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.
