[DUG] Detecting screensaver

Does anyone know a reliable way to detect if the screensaver is on?  The way 
I have found references to on the web

 SystemParametersInfo(SPI_GETSCREENSAVERRUNNING, 0, @ATScreenSaverOn, 0);

 Note this is documented as Windows 95 only, which I am guessing why it 
doesn't work (XP/Vista)

The only other way I can think of is to try to find the full name of the 
foreground program and see if it has a .SCR extension, but I am not 
confident that would work.
