Thanks for the answer, Sebastien. You don't have to sorry, it's a
pleassure to speak with you. What I'm trying to tell is that ubuntu and
gnome developers don't know who or where those 1% people can be. Maybe
I'm the 1% of a lot of removed options, I gave you those examples for a
reason.

Those are valid points, we dislike some of things GNOME3 did (like
dropping support for custom screensaver graphics), some will be added
back, GNOME3 and Unity are still quite new, I understand it can be
frustrating meanwhile, sorry about that.
Some side notes on the example you took

I understand you, Sebastien. But in my opinion the key is the word
'previously'. There are lots of things that were easily configurable in
11.04 and now those options are lost. I've given five examples in gnome-

I agree.
But my experience tells me that a kernel crash upon sleep or hibernate is a
very difficult bug to troubleshoot.
Most of the time, these bugs arise only on a specific hardware or BIOS or ACPI
design or other unknown things.
In my case, I really like to have to only close the lid when I'm
Gilles, we don't design ui to workaround bugs, if suspend doesn't work
on your laptop it's a kernel bug and should be fixed rather than
workarounded by adding an option in the ui which would not be useful if

GNOME dropped the ui to configure the lid close behaviour, Ubuntu added
back it but listing only suspend, hibernate and nothing ... not sure how
useful the shutdown option is in there, you are the first one to request
it since Oneiric, it seems it would clutter the ui for something 0.1% of

I agree. I miss a lot of things in this new gnome-control-center. For
example, in ubuntu 11.04 (gnome2) we can easily configure laptop lid,
power button, screensaver, user groups, automatic login in unity-2d...
All those things have gone in ubuntu 11.10 (gnome3), now Gnome-Tweak and

Thank you David for your solution. It does work perfectly.
But...I still think this is an issue and not a "simplification". Why would a
lambda user be forced to go through dconf-editor (which they probably don't
know anything about) in order to have the laptop shutdown when they close the
lid be
Hi Gilles. You can solve this bug (or missfunctionality) of gnome-
control-center using dconf-editor instead of gconf-editor. Open dconf-
editor and navigate to org -> gnome -> settings-daemon -> plugins ->
power. Set 'lid-close-ac-action' and/or 'lid-close-battery action' to
'shutdown'.
You can a

Not sure how valid this bug is, since it seems more likely that the
'Shutdown' option was removed very deliberately as a simplification of
the gnome-control-center design, but it's definitely not a Nautilus
issue so I have moved it from there to g-c-c
