However, in the points listed there; there's not really that much there that doesn't already exist in xscreensaver (using generic hacks, and having a lib that makes writing some stuff easier - the lib just isn't packaged as such.) Moreover, when you're talking about fast user switching, the screensaver is *not* the place to start solving the problem; what you really want to do is just build in VNC-like support to all sessions, and then just disconnect and switch to new local ones; this can be added to any screensaver rewrite post-fact, IMO. IOW, I don't think he's looking at the issues mentioned in this thread. Bill
