Hello Xfce Team, First of all, thank you very much for Xfce v4.12, it is amazing that it "just works", and it does very well. However, there would always be ways for improvement, isn't it? Multiple monitor setup (3x) 01. Settings => Xfce Power Manager => General => Laptop lid => Switch off display (both "On battery"/"Plugged in") General => Buttons => When power button is pressed => Ask General => Buttons => When hibernate button is pressed => Do nothing General => Handle display brightness keys System => System sleep mode => Hibernate / Suspend (On battery / Plugged in) System => When inactive for => Never / Never System => On critical battery power => Do nothing Display => [v] Handle display power management (checked) Display => Blank after => Never / Never Display => Put to sleep after => Never / Never Display => Switch off after => Never / Never Display => Redduce after => Never / Never Security => Lock screen when system is going to sleep 02. Closing lid => Only Laptop's monitor goes off === OK. 03. Launching xflock4 by keyboard application shortcuts (Ctrl+Alt+L) 04. All monitors go black screen, but NOT on standby (there is still signal to all 3, just blacked out, resulting in the IPS glow at night) === **NOT OK** 05. After closing Laptop's lid => the system goes into hibernate/suspend mode, Laptop's power button fades out, signal to monitors lost, all 2 remaining monitors go to the standby mode (a highly desirable feature for xflock4, as in https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6516). === **NOT OK**. 06. Return from suspend/hibernate on keyboard/mouse event OK (thanks, Debian and Xfce).

I'm not sure I understand this bug report. Trying to follow your points, you said that on point 02. the power manager performs the correct action 03/04. you manually launch xflock4, you expect it to turn off your screen, but it does not (correct behavior anyway, since it is not its job, it is just a screen locker) 05. You close the lid, and the computer goes to suspend, while the power manager is configured to lock the screen. Is that correct?
