I'm watching movies through netflix so I do not have any ideas how to write a script that will do that thing. I guess the script should detect if an application is in full screen mode.
A "solution" I'm thinking is to put a cron job with the following command xfconf-query -c xfce4-power-manager -p /xfce4-power-manager/presentation-mode -s false to repeat it self every morning. Theoretically that should solve the problem of forgetting to change it back. Doesn't feel like a clean solution. Anyway It isn't a big problem. Usually I do not watch movies at all. Just had a leg surgery and I'm going to be bored to death the next couple of weeks until i start walking again.
