Bug Description
Using current raring
- start gedit
- type something in the textview
- open the unity session menu, select "close the session..."
the new unity UI for lock screen/logout opens, at the same time you can see the gedit "session is about to close and you have unsaved work, what do you want to do?" under it ... the UI interaction is confusing, that dialog is also not need if you just want to pick "lock screen", that dialog shouldn't be triggered before logout is really picked

Unfortunately that's triggered by gnome-session when requiring a logout, and we can't do so much about this mostly because the gnome-session is not giving us a list of inhibitors before that an action is requested.
So, to get this we'd need to fix the interactions between gnome-session and its clients and then to change indicator-session to directly call the unity action to perform (and not gnome Session).
At this point I think it's too much work for the noise it causes.
