I upgraded my OS from Lubuntu 13.10 to Lubuntu 14.04 a few days ago, and now my screen locks when the lid is closed, while I want nothing to happen when lid is closed.
I have already set the right option in the Xfce power manager ("When laptop lid is closed: Nothing") and, as of https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfce4-power-manager/+bug/1307545 and Closing laptop lid suspends Lubuntu, since upgrade , I tried editing /etc/systemd/logind.conf
; but when I close the lid, the screen still locks and asks for a password. Note that this doesn't happen every time I close the screen; sometimes it stay closed for a few minutes and can be reopened without having been locked, and sometimes it locks as soon as I close the lid.
For reference, here's the content of my /etc/systemd/logind.conf

Is there's something wrong with what I'm doing? What can I do to be able to close the lid without anything happening?
EDIT: Possible pointers would be about what exactly happens when I close my lid; I tried investigating in that direction, but I don't know where to start. If a script or something is called on lid closing, I might even be content with modifying it to do nothing.
