don't we already have default behaviours based on the lid switch,
anyway? So why don't we have this problem with those? IIRC, we default
to suspending the system when the lid is closed on battery power - so
are we suspending people's systems at random, if those systems have
lying lid switches?
Generally those are based on a change of lid state, which may be different.
