Noel: thanks for providing this applet replacement - its a shame I
wasn't aware of this before. Due to this and a few other issues I
migrated my laptop to KDE on Fedora so this issue is no longer relevant
for me.

That being said, I tested this applet on my desktop running Oneiric with
"Gnome Classic" session, and it looks to be working fine for inhibiting
the screen lock. I of course couldn't test the laptop lid action which
is what I was interested in the first place, and also the UI is not as
simple as the original inhibit applet - It would have been great if the
icon would update to show some icon other then the "inhibiting" icon
when there are no inhibiting options enabled.

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.
