Parole relies on xdg-screensaver to control the screensaver behavior.
However, this external shell script only runs "xset s default" to re-
enable the screensaver, so it does not restore the previous timeout
value.

   Parole sets screen saver timeout and cycle to 600 on exit. It does
  not matter what the vaules are before starting the program. Also, it
  does not matter whether the option to prevent the screen saver is on
  or off in parole preferences.

  xset q before running parole media player:
  Screen Saver:
    prefer blanking:  yes    allow exposures:  yes
    timeout:  0    cycle:  0

  xset q while runing parole:
  Screen Saver:
    prefer blanking:  yes    allow exposures:  yes
    timeout:  0    cycle:  0

  xset q after exit:
  Screen Saver:
    prefer blanking:  yes    allow exposures:  yes
    timeout:  600    cycle:  600
