Hi. With Xubuntu 15.10 (was same w/ 15.04) when suspend is initiated through inactivity, it fails with the quoted text: "GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.AccessDenied: Permission denied".

I've tried this [https://askubuntu.com/questions/627356/xubuntu-15-04-cannot-suspend-when-inactive] fix but it didn't help.
I suspect that this [https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfce4-power-manager/+bug/1441460] is close but irrelevant?

Seems to fail the same when powered or on battery - I haven't noticed a difference in any case.

Any thoughts / guesses appreciated. When I come back to it and wiggle the mouse, hit the keyboard, or sometimes hit the power button, it comes back to the session login screen then returns with that failure warning. So I suspect it has been sitting there unsuspended but with the screen off.

edit: just noticed I'm using v1.4.4-4ubuntu (per software manager); given we're not on 1.5.2 is there a reason why this hasn't been upgraded as part of xubuntu 15.10? Cheers.
