Bug Description

I had previously configured "when lid is closed" to do nothing. After upgrading to oneiric, that setting was lost.

Making matters worse, it seems there is no way to configure this behavior now: bug #792636

according to the maintainer :

"No, as the old g-p-m setting had more enums than the enums available to g-s-d.
If we migrated, then we could have a situation where we caused an error in the
conversion tool every boot as an enum was not available. Also, if we migrated,
the user would have no way to go back to the default we chose in 3.2

As for the UI, well, that's a design issue."

So closing this as Invalid, thanks.
