Description Jeremy Bicha 2013-09-09 14:16:26 UTC 
gnome-settings-daemon 3.8.5 on Ubuntu 13.10 Beta

org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power lid-close-ac-action 'nothing'
org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power lid-close-battery-action 'nothing'
org.gnome.desktop.screensaver lock-enabled true

With these settings if I close the lid the screen does not lock. This is a regression from gnome-settings-daemon 3.6.4 and it appears unintentional if I'm reading the commit messages correctly:

seb128 says this is a security issue.
Comment 2 Sebastien Bacher 2013-09-09 15:39:47 UTC 
it's not the default configuration so lower the importance a bit
Comment 3 Jeremy Bicha 2013-09-09 22:34:12 UTC 
As presented here, this is an issue with a Ubuntu patch so I'm closing this bug for now.
