Hi,

I'm not really sure actually, but you could probably ask for a status
update on the gnome-power-manager mailing list.

AFAIK, all it takes (and all the inhibit applet does) is a simple dbus
call to inhibit/uninhibit g-p-m, so it would probably not be hard to
write a script to do this, or even backport the applet.
