Thanks for the help, but I did a lousy job explaining my situation, which as far as this topic goes has already been solved. You see, in spite of what I said, I already have a solution to my "lock screen" situation, I just needed to re-find it as I had my hard drive replaced (if it interests you, my method can be found at: http://www.macosxhints.com/comment.php?mode=view&cid=81530&query=keychain%20lock%20screen%20applescript). What I'm really looking to do is explore the functionality of QuickSilver. I had another idea for what I'd like to do that's involves the status menu, but I think I'll be best off starting a new topic to make my intention more clear.
