From what I understand, the reason prefpanes won't work with Rosetta
is because they're basically plugins loaded by System Preferences,
and System Preferences is a native application, and thus isn't using
Rosetta, and thus can't load non-native plugins. I believe the same
situation will exist with ScreenSaver bundles as well - I doubt the
ScreenSaverEngine will be run with Rosetta.

Rosetta does not run the following:
■ Applications built for Mac OS 8 or 9
■ Code written specifically for AltiVec
■ Code that inserts preferences in the System Preferences pane
"
I take this to mean that if you are developing a PrefPanel, you
can't rely on Rosetta auto-tranlsation. Does this mean that
ScreenSaver Bundles will NOT work? Or does "code that inserts
preferences..." just apply to pref panels?
