I had a bunch of related problems with F13 - no events were generated when the laptop lid was closed, so it didn't sleep or lock, logout/shutdown would hang. Despite some help from this list, the only fix I found was to install the latest F12 kernel and use that instead. If your problems have the same cause, then installing an old kernel will be much less effort than installing an old fedora. Of course it'll run into the same 'obsolete' problem in a month or so time...
