Public bug reported: I realise this used to be a problem when systemd was introduced to ubuntu first and xfce-power-manager didn't know how to handle it. I have already tried modifying logind.conf to no avail. I would say the power manager was handling systemd correctly at least partially, as pressing the power button for instance brought up the XFCE power menu before I modified anything on logind.conf
Doesn't suspend with or without being hooked to an external monitor. I'm on Xubuntu 15.10. Installation was originally Ubuntu 15.04, then upgraded to wily, then installed xubuntu-desktop and been running that since. Lid definitely works as intended when I run Unity instead of XFCE. Acpi lid events work fine.
