2.27.5-0ubuntu2~ppa5 does store the settings properly, but it no longer actually suspends the laptop when the lid is closed. The current Karmic version has the settings dialog messed up but at least if gconf has /apps/gnome-power-manager/buttons/lid_battery set to "suspend" it would have suspended when the lid is closed, but with the PPA version it does not.
