on tabs "On AC Power" and "On Battery Power"

add on option to "Run Application" when laptop lid is closed (and when it's opened).

For example, I'd like to send a STOP signal to Firefox when the laptop lid is closed, to reduce power use, then send a CONT signal when the lid is opened, all while keeping SSH and chat sessions alive and active.
