How many DE actually to this? GNOME does, not sure about KDE, Sugar or
Mate, but inhibit support seems to be the exception and not the rule
Xfce and LXDE do not yet support it, so power management on these DEs is
broken by default.

A change that affects all desktops really should have been handled as a
feature with approval from FESCo.  Did you ever contact the relevant
package maintainers?  Did you at least bother to properly announce your
changes?  What do you suggest maintainers and users of other desktops
should do now?

Kind regards,
Christoph
