F18: Sleep at closing the lid, regardless of my current settings

[Raphael Groner]

Ho Miro,

your issue is no bug and not any crap. That's a systemd feature and an
already upstreamed feature request for Xfce.

But be aware that there is a work around. It has been discussed
already on this list and on the xfce upstream list.

You can prevent systemd from taking power management action via the
configuration file /etc/systemd/logind.conf :

$ grep Handle /etc/systemd/logind.conf 
#HandlePowerKey=poweroff
#HandleSuspendKey=suspend
#HandleHibernateKey=hibernate
#HandleLidSwitch=suspend

Set the wished option to the "ignore" value after the = charachter
and remove the comment marker #. For instance,
HandleLidSwitch=ignore

$ man logind.conf

Look also at the following upstream bug report about systemd
compatibility. 
https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9335

Greets,
Raphael
