Found it after some more googling, at https://wiki.freedesktop.org/www/Software/systemd/inhibit/ A screen lock tool wants to bring up the screen lock right before suspend, and delay the suspend until that's complete. Applications which want to make use of the inhibition logic shall take an inhibitor lock via the logind D-Bus API. -- 2. That which causes joy or happiness.
