Public bug reported:
steps to reproduce:
gnome-session-inhibit sh -c "sleep 10"
Excepted result is of course wait for 10 seconds before termination.
Actual result:
Failed to open "sleep 10"
That is causes because shell ignores the first argument that should be
the program name. But inhibit passes "-c" as the first argument.
Attached patch fixes the inhibit to work correctly. Exactly like sudo,
parallel, systemd-inhibit or any similar program works.
