I discovered after loading Snow Leopard that the handy utility that disables the computer from going to sleep when you close your laptop screen no longer functions, has anyone come across anything that replaces this hand little utility?

You can try to download a tiny app called Caffeine, you can find at the AppStore, it's free. – yuks Dec 7 '11 at 22:49

The legacy version works with Snow Leopard, although it prevents unloading so it can be a pain. It's best to wait for an official update. Quoted from the author's blog:

The fault is in insomniax not insomnia the legacy versions will work, I will begin work on a fix in 3 days today

The new version is now out, you can get it here.

While I find that the 1.3.4 version of InsomniaX works in that it prevents my MBP from sleeping from closing the lid, putting the display to sleep still requires that I login on screen wake. Display sleep from the app doesn't work.
