I provided a replacement for the inhibit applet ages ago.  The
replacement supports both the Gnome Applet API and the App Indicator
API.

Title:
  inhibit applet does not inhibit some user initiated events

Status in Gnome Powermanager:
  New
Status in “gnome-power-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  With the inhibit applet enabled (using the patched version from upstream, see linked ppa below):
  1) does the screen blank when power preferences is set to blank it? (no)
  2) does it suspend at the time set in power preferences? (no)
  3) can you manually shutdown? (no)
  4) can you manually suspend? (yes)
  5) can you manually switch users, log off, hibernate? (yes, no, yes)
  6) on lid close, does it suspend? (yes)
  7) on lid close,does it shutdown? (yes)

  The inhibit applet is intended to inhibit auto-power saving. However,
  inhibiting manual events is useful, especially if you just want to
  close your laptop to walk between rooms without losing an internet
  connect, for example.
