I've got a real strage little effect. My seti at home screensaver starts up
behind mathematica 4. It does this whether no matter what activities I'm
completing in the notebook. The screensaver is starting as if it isn't
aware that I'm using the computer. It must have something to do with the
way the kernel works.

Other than that quirk, the new version 4.0.1 seems more stable than 3.
