     It appears there is only one event triggered for both
     open and close of the lid in Sonys.

     The last state is remembered in /var/lib/acpi/lid_state
      But if you boot or shutdown with the lid in a different state
      then it was on last shutdown or booted(respectivly) the 
      content of this file will be wrong.

      I occasionally issue a shutdown command and close
      the lid while it does its shutdown routine.  BAD IDEA.
      Because I have to open it again to power on (due to 
      location of power button).  This makes for the lid state
      inconsistancy.

      Removing /var/lib/acpi/lid_state  fixes the problem.
