      Description of problem:
      Running an RHEL 9 system as a jump box on a KVM host. Graphical display works when VM is booted however, if I leave the display unattended for a while, it turns off and can not be activated again either using Spice via virt-manager or using VNC (Connections or other apps). I can still connect to the VM via ssh.

      Other guests do not have this problem including text-based RHEL or other Linux VMs or, graphically, MS Windows

      This was also a problem in RHEL 8.x but has now become more important for me as I may need to deploy a similar RHEL 9 server in a production network and will need properly functioning remote display capability.

      Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
      Unsure of what is relevant, as I haven't seen any helpful log messages but here's Gnome versions, if they help:
      [root@skinny tony]# gdm --version
      GDM 40.1
      [root@skinny tony]# gnome-shell --version
      GNOME Shell 40.9

      Maybe this will also help:
      [root@skinny tony]# dnf list installed | grep wayland
      gnome-session-wayland-session.x86_64 40.1.1-6.el9 @System
      libwayland-client.x86_64 1.19.0-4.el9 @System
      libwayland-cursor.x86_64 1.19.0-4.el9 @System
      libwayland-egl.x86_64 1.19.0-4.el9 @System
      libwayland-server.x86_64 1.19.0-4.el9 @System
      xorg-x11-server-Xwayland.x86_64 21.1.3-2.el9 @System
      [root@skinny tony]#

      How reproducible:
      Very easy

      Steps to Reproduce:
      1. Boot RHEL 9 guest
      2. Wait for screen to blank or use system and wait for screen to blank
      3. Attempt to use machine after screen blanks

      Actual results:
      Nothing happens

      Expected results:
      The display appears
