xfce4-power-manager unable to perform some of it operations due default
systemd/logind settings.

Example: if power-button is set up to 'suspend' and default logind.conf is
commented #HandlePowerKey=, than computer will shutdown if power-button
pressed, ignoring xfce4-power-manager settings.

If logind settings is changed to  HandlePowerKey=ignore, all works fine.

This is not xfce4-power-manager problem, but I think it should at least show
warning about incompatible settings in systemd. Systemd gonna be default init
service in future debian version so that problem gonna hit many users. And it
really hard to debug.

This is a pretty irritating bug for those of us who like to disable
suspend-on-lid-close.

Putting 'HandleLidSwitch=ignore' in /etc/systemd/logind.conf and
running 'systemctl restart systemd-logind' at least restores my
preferred behavior, but it would be much better if the XFCE UI handled
it.
