Until 1.4 becomes available, ANY way to share screens (including Willy's
screenshare.library) is a kludge and is unsupportable (that is, it probably 
won't work in a future release of the OS).  That's one reason we've refused to
support screenshare.library.  "kludgy" public screens might be OK for PD
or shareware, but not for commercials that are supposed to follow the rules.
