Lid closes hibernates in Gnome but *not* in TDE
If this has been changed, then I could see Gnome/TDE handling the suspend on lid-close differently.
So what happens to you in TDE, if you close the lid?
The computer suspends to RAM and computer enters low-power state where RAM is kept warm and the lid-open interrupts is monitored, but little else. (actually KDE3 at the moment).
The only non-default entry in my login.conf is the power-button, because I like being able to press the power-button and leave the lit open and still suspend to RAM, e.g.
$ noc /etc/systemd/logind.conf [Login] HandlePowerKey=suspend
The 'hibernate' writes to disk and then enters a poweroff state but leaves the filesystems with a flag set to show they are still in use. I have never liked hibernate on dual-boot systems just for that reason.
