 While demoing the XO, I accidentally closed the lid.  The XO suspended
 (dropped power on the USB sockets).  When ordinary 'Sleep  Mode'
 situations occur at home (where I'm plugged into the AC), I don't want my
 USB power dropped -- therefore I've done 'touch /etc/ohm/inhibit-suspend'
 on my system.  By preventing ordinary suspending I've prevented dropping
 USB power.

 Looking at http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Requirements, it says "Closing the
 lid should go into 'Sleep mode'".  Yet me closing the lid caused a
 suspend, despite me having done 'touch /etc/ohm/suspend-inhibit'.

 Is it the intent of /etc/ohm/inhibit-suspend to prevent ordinary
 suspension, but not "deep" suspension such as that resulting from closing
 the lid ?  [Seen on 700 and on Joyride.]
