Under OS X 10.1, I had been locking the screen (well, activating the screensaver, which already had password protection on) using:

do shell script "open -a ScreenSaverEngine"

Under 10.2, I have a problem with that. The ScreenSaver activates when I run the script, but a *second copy* of the ScreenSaver starts after the normal timeout period. When I go to unlock the screen I have to do it twice because there are two "screensaverengine"s > running.

So, is there a better way to activate the screensaver?

tell application "ScreenSaverEngine" to run

I can picture in my mind a world without war, a world without hate. And I can picture us attacking that world, because they'd never expect it.
