Public bug reported:
I have a Dell XPS 13 9380 laptop with Type-C dock. There are two
external monitors (DisplayPort) and USB mouse attached to the doc.
Normally I disconnect the dock cable from the laptop, close the laptop lid and
laptop suspends.
However, sometimes it doesn't suspend.
I can see the 'Lid closed.' message in systemd-logind log which is normally
followed by a sleep.
Once this happens, laptop no longer suspends on lid close until I restart Gnome
session.
Also, if I lock it, the screen goes black but the backlight does not turn off.
I can put computer to a sleep from Gnome menu.
I'm not sure if it's issue is specific to Type-C dock though. It happens
rarely, maybe 1 of 20 times.
It appears like gsd does not detect monitors disconnect event in some
cases:
abram@abram-laptop:~$ systemd-inhibit --list --mode=block

3 inhibitors listed.
I've also seen a similar issue mentioned at askubuntu:
https://askubuntu.com/questions/1196871/gnome-supend-on-laptop-lid-close-no-longer-works-since-19-10-upgrade
The accepted answer involves killing gsd-power but that's more like a
workaround than a fix; the same presumably happens when Gnome session is
restarted.
