in my post above standby == suspend. sorry.
I don't know about the OP, but I'm running F17 with MATE. but I've
also looked in gnome desktop as well as xfce, and I can't find any
setting for that. certainly there are menus for when on AC power and
also for when on battery, but none that I've found offer suspendn as
an option. :(
ah, I see gnome tweak tool available in "add/remove software". If it
provides important functinality like configuring power management for
laptops, I'd sorta think it would be installed by default. I always
"just had it" in previous installs on this machine, so I wasn't expecting
to have to install something in addition.
Installed now. thanks for the pointer!
In XFCE, if you right-click on the battery monitor and go to
"Preferences", you can select "Suspend" for lid close for all the
profiles. I have it set to "Suspend" for my "On Battery" profile and
"Lock Screen" for the "On AC" profile.
The usual caveat of "It works for me" applies here.
