Howard,
please man, tell me how could you tap into the screensaver framework!!!! :D I know how to build full screen apps, thats easy, I want to know is how I tell MacOS X 10.3.4 to load my app when it needs to load a screen saver... I thought that with externals or maybe a clever plist hacking that might be possible

There's been some discussion about whether it's possible to write a screensaver for OSX in Revolution. The difficulty has been to hook into the OSX screensaver framework. However, I thought it shouldn't be that hard to write it as a standalone application. So with that in mind, I've written OSX Screensaver entirely in Transcript (with a couple of lines of Applescript thrown in) and posted it to my RevOnline user area (designeq).
This screensaver plays a Quicktime-compatible movie when the screensaver evokes, after the preset idle-time. Any movement of the mouse or keyboard entry returns you to your regularly-scheduled program.
It's got a few other goodies, like hot-corners, the ability to play the movie at original size or full-screen and volume adjustment.
Please feel free to take a look and try it out. I'm particularly looking for bug reports.
I was amazed and impressed with Revolution's ability to build a tool like this.
