my default power management policy for my laptop when on battery power is to shutdown. for ac power it is set to blank screen. when i engadge the inhibit sleep applet my system will still shutdown. is there a reason why the inhibit sleep toolbar applet is failing to override my power management settings.
this worked great in other distros and i think i remember it working fine in arch too.

Yes, it should inhibit sleep. Try "caffeine for linux" 1.0. Works better anyway. It's on AUR.

hmm i tried caffeine and it suffers from the same issue; it does seem like a nice app though. i added pacman, yaourt and powerpill to the inhibit list so that if i get inhibit to work i will be able to leave my machine on to install software while im walking around and it should turn off afterwards (i have an SSD drive).
i cant find any cases of this happening to anyone else on arch recently. im not sure how i would go about debugging this.

you can try to run gnome-power-manager --no-daemon --verbose.
Also, I'd have a look here https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-power/+bug/389857 ; maybe you'll find something helpful
