If I run the S@H application (system tray) at startup (or manually),
so the 'green dish' is in the tray, the 'screensaver' works properly. 
If I exit the 'green-dish' application, the 'screensaver' flashes and
exits.  Isn't it supposed to start the 'green-dish' application when
it's not open automagically?

If I understand you correctly... if you have your screensaver set to s@h, 
it will come on no matter if you turn it off.  I think that's what you are 
asking...
