KDE 4.2 doesn't lock screen on resume nor suspend when lid is closed

It doesn't resume when I close the lid, but it does through KDE menu, however it does not lock the screen. My relevant settings are:

System Settings -> Advanced -> Power Management -> General Settings
  "Lock screen on resume" enabled
  "Let PowerDevil manage screen powersaving" enabled
System Settings -> Power Management -> Edit Profiles
  "When laptop lid closed" = suspend to RAM
System Settings -> Advanced -> Service Manager
  "PowerDevil" is running

How can I make it resume when the lid is closed and lock the screen? Meanwhile I'll try through acpi actions instead of KDE itself.

Re: KDE 4.2 doesn't lock screen on resume nor suspend when lid is closed

I think I found the reason:

# cat /proc/acpi/button/lid/LID/state
state:      closed

Once it was opened and it did suspend and lock the screen.

Now the problem is to solve the closed state when the lid is opened.
