“Richard Hughes recently posted about the recent GNOME3 Power
Settings design that got a lot of people (myself included) hot and

prefer that their laptop stay on when the lid is closed. There are
clearly other who, like myself, would prefer to maintain the normal
behaviour when an external monitor is plugged in.

“So Nirbheek Chauhan and I designed a couple of quick mockups
that I think would work well. This doesn’t address customising
behaviour with an external monitor, but I don’t feel nearly as
strongly about that being hidden in dconf-editor as I do about the
rest.”
