Comment:
Yes, the individual packages need to disable the screensaver while they are running.  I personally don't agree with you, though.  Setting screensaver timeout to 1 minute makes no sense when you're going to do a presentation.  If you're not changing slides often enough to keep your screensaver off, perhaps the "bug" is in your boring presentation! :-P
Also, "full-screen" mode does NOT equal "presentation" mode.  Especially e.g. pressing F11 in Firefox, this does not mean the screensaver shouldn't activate at all.  I don't imagine the Firefox people will ever put that code in.  You just need to disable the screensaver yourself if it's a problem in your rather particular situation.

Just my €0.02...
