Hi Gilles. You can solve this bug (or missfunctionality) of gnome-
control-center using dconf-editor instead of gconf-editor. Open dconf-
editor and navigate to org -> gnome -> settings-daemon -> plugins ->
power. Set 'lid-close-ac-action' and/or 'lid-close-battery action' to
'shutdown'.

You can also solve this problem with Gnome-Tweak, navigate to Gnome-
shell and modify 'Laptop lid close action on battery' and/or 'laptop lid
close action when on AC'

Wish this helps.

Title:
  Can no longer "shutdown" when laptop lid closes

Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  1. Ubuntu 11.10 kernel 3.0.0-12-generic #20-Ubuntu SMP Fri Oct 7 14:50:42 UTC 2011 i686
  2. software-center 5.0.1.5 / power settings menu / gnome-power-manager 3.2.0-0ubuntu1
  3.expected to keep this option I had configured in Natty after upgrading to Oneiric
  4. after migrating to Oneiric, this feature (closing the lid shuts down the laptop) disappeared. There is no way to set it again inside the power settings menu of the software center, as this option does not appear anymore under the settings for the lid options. Nor is it possible to set it again via gconf-editor: apps-->gnome-power-manager-->buttons and set lid_ac and/or lid_battery to "shutdown" (when changed to "shutdown", it does not change the power manager behavior when the lid closes)-
