“On of the biggest complaints about the gnome 3.0 was that (for
laptop users) when the laptop lid was closed, the desktop went to
suspend mode. The worst part was that it was not even possible to
remove or change that option from the default settings screen. The
only way around the problem was to install the gnome tweak tool
(which is awesome by the way and a must-have for the gnome users)
and change it from that application.

“Not anymore.”
