Yeah, I just wanted to sum up what's the possible solution so far for
the end user. But you can do it obviously much shorter. :)

I don't understand how the session is related to that issue in any
case

xfce4-power-manager uses a dbus interface to instruct the power
management component. Is upower already merged to systemd, will it be
in some future version (any plans to do that)?

KDE (and GNOME) have similiar issues. The main bug seems to be.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=859227

- and then for GNOME in particular:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=859224

I tend to give up on that hibernate/suspend/sleep well/simulate death
thingy when reading through all those comments. WTF external monitors
need special handling? Cause it gets more and more complex. Yeah, it
should be routed to the end user that can configure it fully like she
wants. SCNR to do some trolling here.
