Well, it didn't work as expected, but I can use it:

HWND hDesktop = OpenInputDesktop(0,false,DESKTOP_READOBJECTS);

returns a valid handle if the desktop is visible or a screen-saver is 
running, but returns hDesktop = 0, when the login screen is shown.

Still, this solves my problem. Thanks for your help, Gambit!!
