I have the proximity detector set to turn on/off my screensaver when I leave/come back. I have my screensaver set to require a password, but it doesn't seem to work when it is activator by Clicker. It asks for my p/w if I just activate it manually. Any ideas?

I guess its because the clicker script quits Screensaver.app.

You could use another script instead, which simulates a key-press, which would ask for your password.

Thanks. I've never really picked up AppleScript, but I think this app might be my inspiration to learn a bit.
