Just tested this on Karmic RC -- behavior is still the same:

-- on fresh boot, closing the lid does nothing (just turns the display 
backlight off);
-- suspending works correctly when triggered from the menu, or by pressing the 
hotkey;
-- after suspending has been triggered once, closing the lid suspends the 
laptop (HP Pavilion dv4000).
On a side note, this does not appear (to my n00b eye) a particular
distro problem. Newest SuSE and Fedora, at least, exhibit the same
behavior.

I truly hope this will get fixed at some point.
