Hi Pat,

I was thinking that the root password could unlock the screensaver
regardless of whose screensaver it is. So, in order:

 - User password
   - Success: close screensaver
   - Failure:
     - Root password
       - Success: close screensaver
       - Failure: continue

You weren't cheating and reading the code [1] were you?  ;)

That is how it works now. However, you'll most likely need to setuid to root for this to actually work.
