Apparently The "inhibition" is done through the DBus 
'org.freedesktop.portal.Inhibit' interface.

I found that documentation:

https://flatpak.github.io/xdg-desktop-portal/

I found that interface under the 'org.freedesktop.portal.Desktop' DBus 
name, but I can't browse it with the IDE DBus explorer, so I guess there 
is something special with it.
