While I agree with you on the goal here, the reason that I've used the manual inhibit in the past was with command line stuff. Things like a long compile that I leave when I go to bed. I had made a small script that we shipped for a while that was a command line wrapper -- but I never ported it to gnome-session when the inhibit stuff moved. Even with that, I have found cases where I needed manual inhibit (mostly when I forgot to run the script). I think that adding inhibit as a menu item in a menu that already exists, does not increase visual clutter significantly as it's already hidden in most cases behind the menu. (which is what I believe this patch does) --Ted
