Bug Description
Dear all,
Something I guess many new user expect from a system is that it goes to standby on lid close.
Hence I would like to suggest to set lid close to standby (see attached screenshot) by default.
What do you think? Something to integrate in Xubuntu 18.04?

Personally... There should be an option for the laptop lid to be closed when docked. I have Dell with two HDMI monitors attached to my docking station. Since 17.10 upgrade, I have to run with the laptop lid open. Should I power up with the lid closed, I see the boot sequence on Monitor one until LXE Window Mgr starts, then the screen blanks. Xfce-power-manager options for "Plugged in" should be "Switch off (Laptop Screen Only)", "Suspend", "Lock Screen". It appears that "Switch off Display" shuts down the Docking Station Video Ports as well.
