I wrote this little screen saver as my first project in Cocoa and have a few newbie questions:

1. How can I tell when the screen saver is about to quit? Do I key on stopAnimation? I have some tidying-up code I'd like to execute once at the end of a run.

Why not stopAnimation: indeed?

2. The redraw seems slow and jerky when I am running in Test mode (i.e. after the user hits the Test button in System Preferences). Is there anything that can be done about this?

3. How can you recover from a crashing screen saver. Every time this happens to me, the screen turns black and I can't force-quit anything. (I think the dialog is coming up, but I can't see it.) If I preview it from System Preferences, I can terminate that, but sometimes I forget.

Answer to 2 and 3. Use SaverLab (Cf versiontracker).
