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...
