The screensaver needs the keyboard focus so that it can listen for a
keyboard event on which to exit, then when it exits, the server
doesn't remember which window had the focus before the screensaver
did, so it defaults to giving it to the root window. I think it
should be possible to fix this by having nsaver do a GrGetFocus() on
startup to find out the previous owner of the focus, then do a
GrSetFocus() on exit to restore it.

If it doesn't work, you're not hitting it with a big enough hammer
