Bug Description

Back in the days of APM, shutting the lid on my ThinkPads could cause the laptop
to sleep. This was usefull, as if I ever wanted to sleep I could just shut the
lid, and I always knew that if the lid was shut, it was sleeping.

Now with ACPI if I want to put the laptop to bed for the night I have to Fn-F4
to sleep, and then shut the lid.

I'd really like an option so that shutting the lid causes a sleep or hidernate.
