I'm having the same issue.

iMac 1.83 GHz Intel Core Duo
1 GB RAM
Mac OS X 10.4.7
BOINC Manager 5.4.9

Occurs with both SETI@Home and Einstein@Home. Recent example:

2) Message boards : BOINC client : Problem with Windows Remote Desktop Connection (Message 3320)
Posted 3 Mar 2006 by Andy Anderson

I'm running Windows XP SP 2 with BOINC 5.2.13. I have BOINC running based on preferences.

I often want to login remotely with Remote Desktop Connection, but when the Boinc screensaver is running, it doesn't recognize that there is now a "user" present, so the core application continues to run. The desktop is black and I can see the core application's button in the taskbar, but it's extraordinarily slow to respond to mouse and keyboard, presumably because it's using so much CPU time. The same problem doesn't exist with the standard screensavers.

When I return to the local keyboard BOINC behaves properly (i.e. it suspends itself).

There is no problem when I use "run always" mode, it is responsive to user activity whether local or remote (but there's no pretty screensaver...).

Anything I can do to fix this? Or is this something that needs to be fixed in BOINC?
