+<para><command>gnome-session-inhibit</command> can inhibit certain
+gnome-session functionality while executing the given COMMAND. To
+achieve this, it calls the Inhibit() method of the gnome-session
+D-Bus API and creates an inhibitor. The inhibitor is automatically
+removed when gnome-session-inhibit exits.
+</para>
+<para>
+A typical use case is to prevent the session from going idle (and
+thus locking the screen) while a movie player is running.
