Detect Screensaver

Hey All,

I have a strange problem with my application not showing
some static
bitmaps if the panel they are on is re-drawn while the
screensaver is
active on Win32.

Is there a way from python to determine whether the
screensaver is
active? Alternatively should my application not redraw while
it does not
have focus?

The application is a temperature graphing application.

Regards
Darryl

winapi-function
SystemParametersInfo(SPI_GETSCREENSAVEACTIVE,0,true,0);
return true, if screensaver is running.
You can create pyd-module for checking.

If you've got Mark Hammond's win32 extensions (or
Activestate Python, 
which includes them), you already have access to this in
module win32gui.

So are they not getting a paint event when the screensaver
stops?
