I need to correct this part. There is another porgram involved
that needs to be rewritten, 

/boot/beos/bin/screen_blanker

This one seems to be responsible for screen blanking, asking for 
password, start / stopping the screen saver, etc.

And you also want to replace screen_blanker and the 
inputer server filter at the same time, so you don't need
to reverse engineer the protocol used between this two
apllications, but are free to create your own.

You will remain binary compatibility with sceen_saver
add-ons, even when the internal communication is different.
