X gurus!

Is there a way to reliably tell when a screensaver is active?  KBiff has an
option where it will pop up a dialog when new mail arrives.  Unfortunately, if
a screensaver is active, it will pop up the dialog on TOP of the screensaver.
This is not good.

Unfortunately, I haven't a clue how I can tell when the screensaver is active
in order to prevent this.  Is there such a mechanism?

If not, then we definitely need to put *something* like this in the
screensavers for 2.0...
