The command that Julian pointed out as the one used by u-r-u is correct
and works from our testing

It looks like Unity sessions are in a similar situation so maybe the
code should be change to keep the inhibitor for those as well (maybe
poping up a dialog explaining that screen lock is not going to work
until reboot if that's less confusing to users?). That's a different
case than the one reported here though
