It is not settings problem I think as sometimes suspend happens on
first lid closing and sometimes happens on second or more. I did not
found any link between number of closing of lid and running programs.
So the settings are right as suspend happens on closing lid but looks
like OS does not detect the lid closing event sometimes.
