Wow... I understand forced security measures, to a point, but forced
screen savers... isn't there a phrase in the constitution of your
country against "cruel and unusual punishment" or so? :)

Anyway, if the "volume up/down" "keys" prevent the screen saver, they
would be better than shift (that is, with fewer side effects). If you
can get the source code of caffe1ne, the change should be small. This
also can be scripted with all kinds of script languages... no USB
gimmick necessary.
