logind lid actions

So, lid actions in powerkit is broken (aka does nothing) with logind.
HandlePowerKey=, HandlePowerKeyLongPress=, HandleRebootKey=, HandleRebootKeyLongPress=, HandleSuspendKey=, HandleSuspendKeyLongPress=, HandleHibernateKey=, HandleHibernateKeyLongPress=, HandleLidSwitch=, HandleLidSwitchExternalPower=, HandleLidSwitchDocked=
Controls how logind shall handle the system power, reboot and sleep keys and the lid switch to trigger actions such as system power-off, reboot or suspend. Can be one of "ignore", "poweroff", "reboot", "halt", "kexec", "suspend", "hibernate", "hybrid-sleep", "suspend-then-hibernate", "lock", and "factory-reset". If "ignore", systemd-logind will never handle these keys. If "lock", all running sessions will be screen-locked; otherwise, the specified action will be taken in the respective event. Only input devices with the "power-switch" udev tag will be watched for key/lid switch events.
HandlePowerKey= defaults to "poweroff", HandleRebootKey= defaults to "reboot", HandleSuspendKey= defaults to "suspend", HandleHibernateKey= defaults to "hibernate", HandlePowerKeyLongPress= defaults to "ignore", HandleRebootKeyLongPress= defaults to "poweroff", HandleSuspendKeyLongPress= defaults to "hibernate", HandleHibernateKeyLongPress= defaults to "ignore". HandleLidSwitch= defaults to "suspend". HandleLidSwitchExternalPower= is completely ignored by default (for backwards compatibility) — an explicit value must be set before it will be used to determine behaviour. HandleLidSwitchDocked= defaults to "ignore". If the system is inserted in a docking station, or if more than one display is connected, the action specified by HandleLidSwitchDocked= occurs; if the system is on external power the action (if any) specified by HandleLidSwitchExternalPower= occurs; otherwise the HandleLidSwitch= action occurs.
A different application may disable logind's handling of system power and sleep keys and the lid switch by taking a low-level inhibitor lock ("handle-power-key", "handle-suspend-key", "handle-hibernate-key", "handle-lid-switch", "handle-reboot-key"). This is most commonly used by graphical desktop environments to take over suspend and hibernation handling, and to use their own configuration mechanisms. If a low-level inhibitor lock is taken, logind will not take any action when that key or switch is triggered and the Handle*= settings are irrelevant.
Added in version 184.
Looks like a rewrite of the lid stuff (and possibly more) is needed (meh).
