  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

Actually this is a bug in xdg-screensaver (or simply put: the
functionality of restoring the previous setting of screenblanking isn't
implemented there) and not a bug in Parole.

Obviously this should be tackled in xdg-screensaver (if at all, since I
haven't heard anybody complaining about this issue before ever).

  does not matter whether the option to prevent the screen saver is on
  or off in parole preferences.
