I consider this a serious bug. (Scenario 1: another laptop user logs
out*, closes the lid, and you find yourself without any battery power
for the rest of the day. Scenario 2: log out, close the laptop lid,
pack in luggage and the laptop overheats.)
There is a work-around fortunately. Edit /etc/acpi/event/lidbtn and
change the action line to
action=/etc/acpi/sleep.sh
(The lid.sh script doesn't seem to do anything remotely useful. Surely
default should be sleep.)
* I've trained my niece to log herself out of machines when she's done
so that other people won't use her account. I don't want to retrain her
the other way round.

Should be able to set power preferences systemwide, eg. sleep on lid closed on
gdm login screen
