Unity use unity-settings-daemon which depends on gnome-settings-daemon-schemas and gsetting-ubuntu-schemas for power related settings.

How to reproduce:

1) Log in to unity-session

2) UCC-> Power

3) Choose "Do nothing" for lid is closed option.

It won't work. Certainly not without tweak-tool. But the Ubuntu autostart ignore-lid-switch-tweak (/usr/lib/gnome-tweak-tool/gnome-tweak-tool-lid-inhibitor) which needs to be disabled as well.

The patch only changes inhibit_lid_switch_action behavior. Gnome-shell can have tweak-tool, but other sessions are affected.

In short it's broken

Solution:
----------------

gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power.lid-close-ac-action 'nothing'
gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power lid-close-suspend-with-external-monitor false

These schemas needs to be set to make it work properly. And we can do that in "ubuntu-settings".

Also when laptop boots with lid-closed it's all gdm before login. So these settings needs to be changed on the behalf of the gdm.

That way there won't be any conflict, both gnome-tweak-tool and unity power settings will work properly.
