Hi, when systemd-logind is active it will by default react to power events and execute the actions configured in /etc/systemd/logind.conf. A desktop environment usually wants to handle such events on their own. E.g. they want to lock the screen on suspend or hibernate or show a confirmation dialog before shutdown when the power button is pressed. For that, the desktop environments are supposed to grab an inhibitor lock [1] for the events it wants to handle. There is a command line tool systemd-inhibit [2] which you can use to inspect currently active locks and it can also be used to grab a lock. As a desktop environment, you can either stick a call like "systemd-inhibit --what=handle-lid-switch:handle-power-key:handle-suspend-key:handle-hibernate-key" in your session start script or you let your desktop session component responsible for power management grab that lock. This is e.g. how it's done in GNOME, where gnome-settings-daemon is grabbing the lock and in KDE, where PowerDevil, does the same. There exist patches for xfce4-power-manager to use the logind inhibit API and also use the suspend/shutdown/shutdown/reboot D-Bus API provided by logind. Please not, that a working suspend/shutdown/shutdown/reboot requires functionality from systemd, as logind will forward those request to the running systemd process. The patches are available at [3], specifically a/ xfce4-power-manager-systemd-inhibit.patch b/ xfce4-power-manager-systemd-shutdown-reboot-support.patch c/ xfce4-power-manager-systemd-suspend-hibernate-suport.patch You can choose to only apply a/ and continue to use upower, even when systemd is active. But as you are already aware, the suspend/hibernate functionality is going to be removed from upower 1.0, so it makes sense to include b/ and c/ as well. If you have further questions, please ask.
