What are you using to test? I've tested with the SillyBalls  
screensaver in PyObjC's examples directory (Examples/Plugins/ 
SillyBallsSaver).

I'm also using the SVN HEAD for altgraph, modulegraph and the other  
related projects, I don't know if that helps.

If upgrading doesn't help, or the SillyBallsSaver example doesn't  
work for you, I'd like to know loads of version information (Python,  
PyObjC, py2app, altgraph, modulegraph, macholib) and the exact error  
message you get in Console.app (close SystemPreferences, open  
Console.app, use the Clear button, then open a freshly build version  
of your saver or the SillyBals saver).

Also make sure you stop SystemPreferences when you want to test a new  
build of a screensaver, otherwise SystemPreferences doesn't always  
pick up the new version (or rather almost never).
