I realize I'm somewhat late with this response, but upstream hasn't
updated their project in years and the release has several outstanding
issues, such as using 100% CPU [1] and broken features such as the
advertised IdleAction support. [2]

If you use polkit and acpid, a "simple" alternative is to use
systemd-inhibit, and run actions based on acpid events. Not sure there's
a ready implementation with X support in mind.

Or now that you've adopted it, perhaps you could look over the ~700
lines of C code and fix outstanding issues. :)
