[comp.sys.mac] Pyro and Multifinder

I am testing Pyro before I buy a copy (together with another program, of 
course). Even though it is one of the nicest programs for screen idling, I 
can't get it to work properly with multifinder.

If I place the cursor at the "sleep now" corner, the screen will go blank
immediately. However, if I set the idling delay and leave the machine
alone, it does not idle at all. Furthermore, I just noticed that if I open up
the control panel and select Pyro and then let the machine sit there, it WILL
idle by itself. I suspect, I might be able to discover more idiosyncratic
behavior if I try.

Anybody knows the reasons for his funny behavior? Is Pyro incompatible with
multifinder? Or am I doing something wrong?
