sorry, i should have been more clear.

i need a program that will be 
a screen-saver _launcher_
-- preferably a faceless background app 
that would launch another program 
(the screen-saver proper)
after detecting a period of inactivity.  

then, that other program
(the screen-saver proper) 
would terminate itself
when it detected activity.
