When I tried Ubuntu 11, I hated it because when I closed laptop lid, it crashed. I changed to Linux Mint 10 and was happy to see that changed. However, I now updated to Mint 11 and I have the same issue.
So I made some investigation on it and disabling VBlank on OpenGL in compiz-settings-manager works for most people. Not for me, though. This worked:
gconftool-2 --type string --set /apps/gnome-power-manager/buttons/lid_ac "nothing"
Note: Almost nobody in the Web knows this and I found it on the last comment of a very hidden page, so thought I should share it.

I have this problem as well. And sadly I haven't found out how to fix this either. I'm actually about to try your solution now. Hopefully it works for me, and I hope you figure out what is wrong soon!
edit: nope, didn't work for me either. sadly. actually I'll ask my friend about this, he might know how to fix this.

Did you try that too?

Nah not yet, don't feel like rebooting right now.

These problems are mostly laptop/pc model specific, and sometimes its hard to find the cause.
David, if you give me your model, I might find a solution.

I already did :) I put "Do Nothing" when laptop lid is closed.

Well, thats not really a solution as it still will crash if you suspend ;)
