And by overriding I mean that Xfce4 Power Manager should do "xset s off" when it enters Presentation mode, and restore to previous screensaver setting, when changing back to Normal mode.

I think it is not desirable to disable X screensaver by Xfce4 Power Manager in Normal mode, since user may want to have some screensaver activated, instead of just blanking the screen, according to that timeout setting. Monitor power management will work regardless according to DPMS settings (that Xfce4 Power Manager sets), if control stays in the same virtual terminal.

Here is some information about X11 Screen Saver Extension:
