Description

DMS (and as it seems, Niri) crash after system idle for a couple of hours. Reproduced with AUR package, and with DMS built from source master branch (32d16d0).

Expected Behavior

No crashes

Steps to Reproduce

1. Start system as usual + login
2. Leave computer for sometime (I reproduced several times when leaving overnight)
3. Return to a blank screen (in my case orange) which is not responsive. Neet to switch buffer and restart DMS service to re-enable the system.

I believe this has been fixed by quickshell-git upstream.
