In addition to RAND_screen(), you can use:
RAND_event(...,...,...);
but you must know that use of both functions is highly discouraged, in other words they should be your last resort.

I use the following on Windows:
if(RAND_status() == 0) RAND_screen();
But I've never experienced on WinXP that RAND_status was 0.
(I can't tell if that is also the case on other Win versions, so
therefor I use this construction.)
The rand seeding seems to be so common a question that it seems strange
that it is not better addressed in the faq.
