Title:
  Power "When the lid is closed" setting does nothing

Status in systemd package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Hi,

  Probably the opposite of LP: #1574120, after upgrading from Xenial to
  Yakkety (alpha 2), it seems my laptop automatically goes into suspend
  when the lid is closed even though I have "When the lid is closed"
  setting set to "Do nothing".

  I'm not sure what's changed, has the HandleLidSwitch default in logind
  changed? Also, any chance of fixing the "Power" setting so it
  correctly handles updating logind?

  I had to update /etc/systemd/logind.conf and add
  "HandleLidSwitch=ignore".
