There's another bug in Vista that prevents the screen saver from
ALWAYS working. I see it work, then it don't depending on which window
has the focus at the time. I have mine set to 10 minutes. Sometimes I
come back and see the screen saver, other times I come back after 20
minutes or more and there's the same application still showing full
screen and no screen saver active. XP did the same thing at times.
Vista adds a new wrinkle in that there's a third happening. Once in
awhile instead of a screen saver I'm back at the initial page when it
is just my long in and little thumbnail photo. I know the system
hasn't rebooted because I'm in the middle of rendering a video and
that is still chucking along.
