> the philosophy of open source developpment is all about freedom of choice when it comes to UI and settings - so why restrict options users had previously (and were happy to use) ?
it's rather to find a good balance between the number of options,choices and the simplicity of use, I've no strong opinion on the shutdown on lid close out of the fact that it seems an uncommon setting, GNOME3 took as a position that laptop users want to suspend on lid close in 99% of the case, we added the ui back because we think some people just close their lid to walk between locations and don't want to go offline and stop running processes during that time. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/880331 Title: Can no longer "shutdown" when laptop lid closes To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/880331/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
