Gnome and  KDE, probably Xfce too has a build in powersaving daemon which they 
use to observe the system ACPI events like "laptop screen closed"-event or "AC 
adaptor plugged"-event.

Windowmanagers don't have this, so you need to run the acpid daemon to monitor 
the system for those events and configure it to run a spesific script on each 
one.

Start from here [1] and read some of the other pages linked to that wiki page 
like the acpid and pm-utils pages.
