Oxide (the web engine under webbrowser-app) is the one that issues a request to prevent screen blanking when playing a video.
It has code to handle releasing the lock when the app goes into the background, so unless the signal doesn’t reach oxide in time before the process is stopped, the lock should be released as expected.

Bug description:
  rc-proposed, r140, krillin

  There are times when it seems the display blanking policy stops
  working and the display stays on until I press the power button.

  Steps to reproduce:
  * install and start Siete
  * put it in background

  Expected outcome:
  * the display is switched off after a predetermined amount of time

  Actual outcome:
  * the display stays on forever

  ======

  Now that apps can request the screen to stay on, they can do so
  regardless of whether they're focused/visible or not.
