Yes, that's correct. Key handling for this is per-VT. Generally on Linux only the X session in the fg will get the keypresses. If you switch away with from it, the new one in the bg will get it instead. logind will get active hence only if there's nobody on that specific VT who wants to take the events. > So the inhibitors, created by KDE, only work if I'm on the KDE > screen.

Well, note that these specific inhibitors are about inhibiting key presses, not actions. i.e. the inhibitor for logind's suspend key (i.e. the handling of the key) is independent of the inhibiting for the suspend (i.e. the action code can ask for).
