   Okular is a KDE-native application.  In its presentation mode, it will   
   prevent the KDE-specific screensaver (or screen locker) from kicking in.   
      
   It does this by communicating with the window manager by way of qdbus,   
   which is a qt-specific IPC bus that KDE software uses quite extensively.   
   But you're running XFCE, which is entirely GTK-based.

   Probably because of a change upstream, or perhaps because of a change in   
   packaging.
