Right. So the way session logout inhibit works is a simple DBus call,
and we have no control over the UI. To fix this right, we'd probably
need to improve that API and get some proper design for the UI which is
being opened up by gnome-session.

We certainly can't change this in 11.04 at this point, but perhaps it is
something we can get Design/DX to look at improving for 11.10, so that
we can take advantage of those changes in U1.
