It would have been helpful (to me, at least) if you had quoted Dan, which I am now doing: <quote> It can be a security issue, but it can also be desired behavior. I have an old laptop in my living room which has the sole purpose of being connected to my stereo to play music. I would be rather upset if it were to pause whenever the screensaver kicks in.
