I have just recently downloaded the newest version of Launch! I like it based on its new speed, but there seem to be a few bugs that have not yet been exterminated. EXTERMINATE, EX-TERM-IN-ATE, EX-TERM-IN-ATE!! as a Daleck would put it. Anyway, when Launch is the active window, my screen saver (Afterdark 2.0t) will not come on after the set timeout limit. Nor will AD come on after I move the mouse to the 'sleep' corner. Also, when launch is the active window, Superclock 3.9 will not continue to function (although when I make any other application, like finder or Macwrite II, active the clock will keep perfect time - even catching up with the time lost due to the stoppage in Launch) This is not unlike when Superclock stops due to the CPU doing stuff - almost as if I were destuffing or something where the clock temporarily locks up. Is this because Launch is doing something in the background all the time or is it a bug? Who knows, if YOU do, please reply and let me know if you have similar problems.

Sounds like Launch isn't calling SystemTask, which is why neither Superclock
nor After Dark seem to be getting time. Sounds like a bug to me.
