Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:
Steam client randomly disables power management with the notification "My SDL application is currently suppressing power management: playing a game" dosplayed in the Battery and Brightness widget. Exiting Steam and restarting will clear the problem for a random period of time, after which the power management is disabled again with the same notification.
Steps for reproducing this issue:
Run Steam client.
Wait a random, indeterminate period of time.
Notice screen no longer blanks after set inactivity time.
Seems to be similar to issue #5532 from about a year ago, but I don;t recall having that problem back then. This started happening a few weeks ago, and I've just now taken the time to trace it to the Steam Client.
