Dear Maintainer,

Presentation mode is very nice for watching movies, etc. However, one can forget that one has turned it on. And apparently I'm not the only one. https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14210 And I conjecture that some people go to sleep during a movie, in which case not having a laptop screen on all night would be nice.

It would be very nice if presentation mode had a time-out timer: after a user supplied number of minutes, it turns itself off. This could be made available via a slider, thumbwheel, or text entry box adjacent to the presentation mode slider switch. This could be in addition to the slider switch or possibly replace it if you are pressed for code space or display real estate.

I am using XFCE 4.16. I see no evidence of this in the change log for 4.18. https://xfce.org/download/changelogs/4.18

Thank you.
