I'm trying to set the "Start screen saver" slider in the Desktop & Screen
Saver pane of System Preferences to Never using GUI Scripting. I see the
slider's value indicator move to the Never position, but when I quit System
Preferences and re-launch it, the slider reverts to the old slider setting.


Has anyone found a solution for this?

Here's my script (beware the screen wrap in line 1), after activating System
Preferences:


tell application "System Preferences" to set current pane to pane id
"com.apple.preference.desktopscreeneffect" -- Screen Saver
tell application "System Events"
tell process "System Preferences"
tell window 1
click radio button "Screen Saver" of tab group 1
tell slider 1 of group 1 of tab group 1 to set value to 361.0
end tell
end tell
end tell


This works for me. Weird because it looks like it's essentially the same script.

tell application "System Preferences"
activate
set current pane to pane id "com.apple.preference.desktopscreeneffect"
end tell
tell application "System Events" to tell application process "System Preferences"
tell window 1
tell tab group 1
click radio button "Screen Saver"
tell group 1
tell slider 1
set value to 361.0
end tell
end tell
end tell
end tell
end tell
