BTW, I completed some researches about turning on the screen saver whenever the computer is put to sleep. I don't have all the answers to my questions, but it looks like there are hooks to do something about it.
Now, before I spend more time, would there be people interested in that little extension to the screen saver? Basically, right now, in OS X, if you put your computer to sleep while the screen saver is not active, then waking the computer restores it exactly as it was before sleeping. Someone mentions to me that they would find useful a little extension that would activate the screen saver whenever the Mac is put to sleep, so if someone wants to sneak into your computer while you're away, they would face the (admittedly easy to defeat) screen saver instead of your desktop and any running apps. Any interest for that? -Laurent. -- ============================================================================ Laurent Daudelin AIM/iChat: LaurentDaudelin <http://nemesys.dyndns.org> Logiciels Nemesys Software mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Brooks's Law prov.: "Adding manpower to a late software project makes it later" -- a result of the fact that the expected advantage from splitting development work among N programmers is O(N) (that is, proportional to N), but the complexity and communications cost associated with coordinating and then merging their work is O(N^2) (that is, proportional to the square of N).
