Hi, I'm trying to programmatically change the configured screen saver.

If I do

$ defaults -currentHost read com.apple.screensaver
{
    CleanExit = YES;
    PrefsVersion = 100;
    idleTime = 600;
    moduleDict =     {
        moduleName = XXXX;
        path = "/Users/juanjo/Library/Screen Savers/XXXX.saver";
        type = 0;
    };
    showClock = 0;
}

I can see that info or even update it using the write parameter.

This settings are not accesibles via NSUserDefaults but they are via CF.

I was able to do this by code

var moduleDict = CFPreferencesCopyAppValue("moduleDict",
"com.apple.screensaver") as CFDictionary

but when I try to get one value from that "dict" the program crash in this
line:

var saverName = CFDictionaryGetValue(moduleDict, "moduleName")

saying EXC_BAD_ACCESS (code=EXC_I386_GPFLT).

So, do you know how can I read this values and write back?

Thanks!
