It is not suspending. Even if I disconnect the USB for the KVM,
though I did keep the HDMI plugged in.
It won't suspend if there's an external display connected.
This is a long-standing issue:

Pressing the power button before closing the lid should work.
Works just fine on my x140e running F41 w xfce. And worked F38 as well
(I tend to get behind then leap forward with releases).
This is a Gnome thing. Apparently XFCE doesn't care about people that
want to use an external monitor with the laptop lid closed. ;-)
This is what I found to turn it on from Google. Seems default is no.
To configure XFCE to suspend when the laptop lid is closed, open Settings > Power Manager, navigate
to the System tab, and set "When laptop lid is closed" to "Suspend" for both
plugged-in and battery scenarios. If this fails, configure logind by editing /etc/systemd/logind.conf
to set HandleLidSwitch=suspend.
Steps to Enable Suspend on Lid Close:
How is this relevant? The question is not about XFCE. And your reply
has nothing to do with an external monitor either.
