on new install, when laptop lid is closed, session is not suspended

[Valorie Zimmerman]

Once I go into systemsettings and change to "suspend when lid is closed" it works perfectly. However, this is the expected behavior by the overwhelming majority of users.

In addition, oddly enough, default for "press power button" is Do Nothing! This is absolutely wrong. Default should be "turn off power."
