Describe what you expected should happen and what did happen. Please link any large code pastes as a Github Gist

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. systemctl suspend
  2. wait some time (it's usually overnight for me but it could be reproducible with less wait time)
  3. Wake up the system

Result:
steam freezes,
xorg freezes,
steam needs to be killed with -9,
xorg needs to be killed,
after killing/restarting everything, it works properly.

Hello @lewisdiamond, in general, no application should be capable of causing this this, hinting that this may be a X or video driver issue.

I think it's also related to Xscreensaver. kill -9 on steam fixes the issue so there's something fishy going on.
