Issue Description and steps to reproduce: I configured my monitor to turn off after a timeout in KDE settings, however persepolis inhibits power management while is running (even when no download is in progress) and my monitor remains active when timeout is reached.

Steps to reproduce start kde plasma session open "system settings > power management" set "screen energy saving" to 1 minute and apply open persepolis and do not use your computer during 1 minute Result: your monitor is still on

Research direction
Investigate how Persepolis currently inhibits power management. Search the codebase for DBus calls related to org.freedesktop.PowerManagement.Inhibit or similar. Identify the condition under which inhibition is active and modify it to only inhibit when there are active downloads.
