1) For Auto Login, go to System Preferences ... Accounts and then selection
"Login Options" with the house icon. Choose the account you automatically
log in as. You will be asked for the password.

2) I mentioned that in my other email. You can "run it" with the Screensaver
Engine already built into the OS. Or there are third-party apps that can
allow you to run it as the desktop -- which lets you put things in the
foreground...

3) Try hooking up a second monitor to your computer. Or just look at System
Preferences ... Display Preferences and choose "Gather Windows" -- my guess
is that the output your composition is being viewed in is showing up as
another monitor. Just choose "mirror display" -- the other issue is that the
display window is stored in the composition. So, when you are on a higher
resolution monitor, it may be visible -- but put it on an 800x600 monitor,
and you can't find it unless it is full screen. So, either increase the
resolution and move it and then save it -- so that you can see it when you
open it again in 800x600, or go to the current User preferences for that
comp with the path ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost and find the file name of
the composition you are having trouble with, it will have a random number at
the end (your network user unique ID), and ".plist" -- that's the
preferences for your composition. If you delete it, the window may reset
(though, these may just be the preferences created by the screen saver.
Anyway, I'm guessing that will solve issue #3.

4) That really isn't necessary. The reason you might want to do it may be
performance -- because apps seem to run quicker than the QC files -- it may
be an issue of being an interpreted text file, vs. a compiled app. And it
might be that normal applications get a higher priority than a screensaver.
I might want to test the screensaverengine with "renice" to set it to a
higher priority.
