Actually, there are a few api calls that screensavers call frequently,
such as the hide mousepointer call, and the screensaver running call.
(I don't remember what calls they are right now, sorry :) ) You can
get around the first call by creating a blank cursor, but to prevent
system keystrokes from causing some un-screensaverlike behavior, the
second call is necessary.
