Why must AppleScript connect to the Window Server?
I don't think it has to.
If I run an AppleScript while logged into a remote machine via ssh,
and that machine's main display is sitting at the login window, then I
get an error, even if the AppleScript isn't "talking" to any
application, not even standard additions. If I'm logged into the main
display on the remote machine, no problem. This is true even on Leopard.
It would be useful to be able to send events to applications to get
things done that only that application knows how to do, without
creating a gui instance of that application. Maybe that means
application developers must provide scripting additions for their
product, but as it stands now, even that won't work because
AppleScript seems to insist on connecting to the Window Server and
that the user is logged into it.
