afaik on chimaera xfce4 relies on elogind for handling "suspend on lid close", and this is something you may disable by a slight edit of /etc/elogind/logind.conf, to have the three assignments: HandleLidSwitch=ignore HandleLidSwitchExternalPower=ignore HandleLidSwitchDocked=ignore
Hopefully that will let your previous suspend solution work. Ralph.
