I've been hunting a bug in my screen saver for several hours, until I've found out the following shocking fact (I think).

When the user clicks 'Test' in System Preferences, it "just" creates a new instance of your subclass of ScreenSaverView!

Do you really find that fact to be "shocking"? What did you suppose would happen (not that suppositions and assumptions are worth much)?

Extra credit: the user has multiple displays attached, "Main screen only" option is off, and the user clicks the Test button or activates your screen saver (hot corner, inactivity). What do you expect will happen then? What actually does happen?

Lest this reply sound too critical, it's really just a way to say "Yes, you must be prepared for multiple instances of your screen saver view to exist simultaneously".
