Yes, thanks. I was just using this for testing to see if I was
understanding the logic.

That is a good idea. We could generalize the mode to handle a variety of
things other than sleep. Maybe we should use a new event category
(<system-event> or something) rather than sleep-event. This general
event can contain actions for sleep, docked, lidclosed, etc. And we
provide a mode for system-event, with sleep just one of the actions. For
D-Bus, this becomes pretty trivial---we just inject all the events we
are interested into system-event and have an appropriate handler.

I must say, I hadn't fully appreciated all that can be done with
D-Bus.

Best,
Andy
