The power manager was never in charge of altering the X11 screen saver timeout. Tools like xscreensaver or xset can be used to change the default value set by the X server.
Now, xscreensaver has been replaced with light-locker in Xubuntu 14.04. On top of that, the Xubuntu team has included a simple GUI settings application (Light Locker Settings). It allows the user to change settings related to screen locking and blanking [1]. The bottom line is that the bug described in this report is actually a feature request, so it is unlikely that the change will be backported to a previous Xubuntu release. However, you can upgrade to a newer xfce4 -power-manager version by following the advice in comment #57.
