If you had upower installed and were running Xfce you would find the
"Suspend" button greyed out. This is because X on tty4 doesn't inherit
the login conditions of tty3. It may not matter to you (it doesn't
matter to me) but that's how systemd works. From the man himself:

Actually, you get the same thing on Wheezy with sysvinit but without
consolekit. The solution is possibly easier with systemd
startx -- vt4
