Upon futher investigation, settings are stored. The problem was specific to which option I choose, the problem is an off by one thing. For "On Battery Power", "Wehn laptop lid is closed" the options are: Blank Screen Suspend Hibernate Shutdown
If I choose Hibernate, --verbose shows - Changing /apps/gnome-power-manager/buttons/lid_battery to suspend choosing shutdown shows hibernate, suspend shows blank, blank shows "nothing". So the option choices are just off-by one and my choice seemed to be ignored but was really stored as the option above it. Soo, choosing Hibernate sets it to suspend. This choice is reflected the next time I open gnome-power-preferences, so it is actually stored. The option box is just off-by-one. Every time I open the application, it loads the options, showing what I chooce -1, saving it on close as shown -1 again, so opening closing, opening will -1 the option also. For some reason hibernate seems to be a default becuase opening and closing a few times seems to have it end up with hibernate. If I set it to hibernate, verifying with --verbose that it actually sets it to suspend, everything works normaly. So the option is stored and acted upon correctly.
