I just did a fresh install on a Acer Aspire laptop from 2007. Also a KDE only
system. The only "issue" I had was that in "System Settings--->Hardware--->Power
Management--->Energy Savings" the "When laptop lid is closed" was set to Suspend. I
changed it to do nothing and that is what happens. I have only a wireless connection
and it remains active. I have the wireless box unchecked.

Oh, right. I could have saved some typing.

Mine is still the default, #HandleLidSwitch=suspend, I suspect the KDE setting is
supposed to overrides this.

From the logind.conf man page....
LidSwitchIgnoreInhibited= defaults to "yes". This means
that when systemd-logind is handling events by itself (no low level
inhibitor locks are taken by another application), the lid switch
does not respect suspend blockers by default, but the power and sleep
keys do.
I have the default. The line is commented out.

Since it works for me, and I think we have similar settings, I don't think I've been
much help. Is there, perhaps, a BIOS setting?
