GNOME dropped the ui to configure the lid close behaviour, Ubuntu added
back it but listing only suspend, hibernate and nothing ... not sure how
useful the shutdown option is in there, you are the first one to request
it since Oneiric, it seems it would clutter the ui for something 0.1% of
users need, having it available from tweak utility for those who really
need it could be enough

** Changed in: gnome-control-center (Ubuntu)

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)-
