The blackwatch screen saver includes some source code,
apparently for a minimal screen saver...

It's C code for dealing with "two Gestalt selectors, 'SAVR' (screen
saver attributes) and 'SAVC' (screen saver control)."

I've heard of 'Gestalt' and was guessing that's what I'd have to deal
with to make an idle-for-x-minutes application launcher. Does AS have
access to Gestalt?

Akua Sweets; if you can figure this out, maybe it will help ...

Alternatively, you can use the Finder's "computer" verb, but you have to know the Gestalt codes and how to interpret the results.
