This code looks like the PowerDevil demon acts itself as events handler:

--- 8< ----

PowerDevilDaemon::PowerDevilDaemon(...)
:        m_notifier(Solid::Control::PowerManager::notifier())
{
...
    connect(m_notifier, SIGNAL(buttonPressed(int)),
      this, SLOT(buttonPressed(int)));
...
}

void PowerDevilDaemon::buttonPressed(int but)
{
    if (but == Solid::Control::PowerManager::LidClose) {

        KConfigGroup *settings = getCurrentProfile();

        if (!settings)
            return;

        switch (settings->readEntry("lidAction").toInt()) {
        case Shutdown:
            shutdown();
            break;
        case S2Disk:
            suspendToDisk();
            break;
        case S2Ram:
            suspendToRam();
            break;
        case Standby:
            standby();
            break;
        case Lock:
            lockScreen();
            break;
        default:
            break;
        }

        delete settings;

    }
}
