The current implementation runs "xset s default" as resume action for
X11's screensaver. This sets the timeout to 600 while ignoring the
previous value which will be lost.

   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
