wake from sleep

[BNig]

Tom,

if you are worried about querying every second or so you could cut down on
querying while the screensaver is not on to lets say every minute. Than as
soon as your stack gets the notice that screensaver is on you change to
query every second, your stack will probably idle when the screensaver is
running anyways.

Unfortunately I dont know any way to hook into the system to get a message
"screensavingEnded"

regards
Bernd
