Is anyone here using Hot Corners to Launch Screen Saver as a n MCX ot CP? if so, can you share the key, and setting. I tried to create one using com.apple.dock using key wvous-tr-corner to no avail.

if anyone can share some tips, would be great.

Here's what we came up with

# Enable Hot Corner Screen Saver - Bottom Left
defaults write /System/Library/User Template/English.lproj/Library/Preferences/com.apple.dock wvous-bl-corner -int 5
defaults write /System/Library/User Template/English.lproj/Library/Preferences/com.apple.dock wvous-bl-modifier -int 0

Yes, this is part of a misc. configuration script. its setting the bottom left corner to be used as the Screensaver launch. I opened up the com.apple.dock.plist file in text wrangler and watched what happened when i changed the settings in system preferences. To get it to work with first time users we had to make the change to the user temp file during imaging.

There may be a much better way of doing all of this. I will admit that i'm fairly new to the game. :)
