I would like my screen to lock when I close the lid on AC power.  Currently (0.8.0 from Debian) the available actions to take when the lid is closed are limited to Nothing, Suspend, and Hibernate.

I'm not sure how useful is this option, but if people want it, it should be easy to add, but of course this will go for the next release.

And to make it even better, allow to lock screen *after N minutes* when the lid is closed - it would allow us to move from one desk to another with a closed laptop instead of half-closed, without typing the password.
