No matter how I configure xfce4 power manager lid close on battery/ac events, the ones configured in logind.conf win.

If I set logind to ignore all lid events, nothing really happens, so that logind again wins (the ignore settings take precedence over xfce4 power manager).

This is the ignore logind config:

HandleLidSwitch=ignore
HandleLidSwitchExternalPower=ignore
LidSwitchIgnoreInhibited=no

The LidSwitchIgnoreInhibited flag seems to be irrelevant, since both values result in the same behavior.

This is my power manager config:
