I want to be able to show basically the same list that the Windows Screen Saver dialog shows, with the name of each screen saver. The problem I've run into however is that the names that show up in the drop down list on the dialog don't seem to correspond to the filename, embedded file information, anything in the registry, etc. For ex...

Hi, I am looking for a way to execute my app (it's a background task) at times, where the machine is "idle". A good incident would be when the screensaver launches.

In Windows a screen saver is just an executable with a .scr extension dumped in the system32, and it is controlled with three switches (/p, /c and /s, I think). How does screen savers work on Mac OS X and Linux? Do they work similarly in Mac OS X and Linux (Gnome, KDE, Ubuntu, or wherever the difference is) or is it completely different...

I am trying to rewrite the following program in C instead of C# (which is less portable). It is obvious that "int system ( const char * command )" will be necessary to complete the program. Starting it with "int main ( int argc, char * argv[] )" will allow getting the command-line arguments, but there is still a problem that is difficult...
