Apropos vt switch, I believe, thats the root cause of this issue and the
blank-after-unlock bug. If we have a vt switch (e.g. sleep 20

then the system suspends; maybe because the new session has no inhibitor
lock. When the

O.k., so light-locker calls lightdm to lock the seat. So we can skip
light-locker in the tests above and use e.g. dm-tool lock.
That means, that it is lightdm, which seems to override the inhibitor
lock for the lid handle upon locking.

Why does the system suspend in test case trusty 1b and utopic 2b?

I did the same tests for trusty: The behavior is basically the same,
only the xfce4-power-manager/logind-handle-lid-switch xfconf-key is

The log file from comment #19 shows that xfwm4-power-manager does not
