I'm using OpenBox on i686. /etc/acpi/handler.sh is set to react on laptop lid close like so:

    button/lid)
        #echo "LID switched!">/dev/tty5
	/usr/sbin/pm-suspend
        ;;
    *)
        logger "ACPI group/action undefined: $1 / $2"
        ;;

esac

# End of /etc/acpi/handler.sh


I'm also having an issue where the fan sometimes goes all guns blazing and runs at 100% (for no reason at all) after awakening from suspend.
