Quite a bit of misinformation in this discussion. Let me clarify what GNOME 3.6 actually does:

- We take inhibitors to block logind from handling power/suspend/etc keys, since gnome-settings-daemon handles those

- We don't take a lid close ihibitor by default, we let logind handle it. Unless there is an external monitor, in which case we do take an inihbitor. You can override that with the lid-close-suspend-with-external-monitor setting that is available in gnome-tweak-tool

- We do take delay inhibitors to ensure we can lock the screen before suspend
