Normally your DE will take a lock that disables handling of the lid
switch as long as the DE is up.

If your DE doesn't handle the lid switch then logind can handle it for
you and it will by default. If your DE handles the lid switch but
doesn't take the lock, then it's a good idea to fix the DE. A workaround
is to invoke it via "systemd-inhibit --what=handle-lid-switch".
