Description Germano Massullo (Thetra) 2017-03-23 21:32:27 UTC 
When you close the laptop screen lid, Plasma blocks the user session.
If I plug a second (HDMI in my case) screen/projector in "extend" (not screen cloning) mode then I close the laptop lid, Plasma will simply switch off the laptop screen and move all applications to second screen. No user session block will be applied.

System Settings/Power Management/Energy Saving/
There is option "Even when an external monitor is connected"
Are you sure it is on?

@Dan: You changed it (a while back) so that kscreen just removes the screen unless PowerDevil suspends, right?
