Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:
I have XFCE installed and up to date to the latest version on my computer. Whenever Steam is running, my monitors are never put to sleep, instead, they keep active as if someone was using the computer when in fact the computer is idle. Closing Steam and its related processes allows this power saving setting to work again.
