Bug description

When an application does something that 'locks' the Suspend action, (e.g. Discord voice call or Update Manager initialization) the end session dialog (the window showing Suspend, Restart and Shutdown) would still show the Suspend entry. Clicking on it would do nothing, possibly due to a lower level system detecting the suspend 'lock'. Linux Mint 22.2 (Cinnamon 6.4.8) would handle this by simply hiding the option. This bug also causes the end session dialog to simply not show again when requested. (Clicking the power icon in the Menu applet) With the following X session errors:

Gjs-Message: 18:03:34.015: JS LOG: [LookingGlass/warning] End session dialog already exists
Gjs-Message: 18:04:31.674: JS LOG: [LookingGlass/warning] End session dialog already exists

Steps to reproduce

1. Let an application trigger a Suspend 'lock'
2. Suspend the system through the dialog menu
3. Action is not taken
4. Open power menu again
5. No window

Expected behavior

Cinnamon should hide the option like it used to.

This is not a bug - inhibitors are for blocking power-managed actions, not user actions.

The user should always be able to select suspend. The bug is that it was a) not showing you a list of what's causing the block, and b) not allowing you to force the action anyhow.
