There are two wiki pages which I've found very useful to understand the
big picture of pm-utils and power management inners on any modern linux
distribution:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pm-utils
http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Pm-utils
Beyond that, YMMV. It will depend on how are you calling/triggering the
events (this is highly dependable on your DE, if there's any in place).
To see what's going on you can make two things:
1/ Running pm-utils from command line
2/ Reading the log (/var/log/suspend.log)
