I've been having offline discussion with Steve.....

Some people (I know one admin) don't want Prime95 to run unless the
machine is *really* idle.  These people like a screensaver to run when,
in  their minds, the PC is idle.  And there is no way to change their 
minds.  The machines are theirs.  Period.  End Of Discussion.

A version of Prime95 could be embedded/hidden inside a screensaver.
The Photo Album screensaver (GPhotoShow) seems to be a great candidate.
We might approach the author(s) of GPhotoShow and ask them to add
hooks to George's code.

To be perfectly clear, I'm saying that only one program runs: the
GPhotoShow/Prime95 hybrid, not one copy of Prime95 and one copy
of GPhotoShow.

There must be other ScreenSavers we could investigate.
