+# Used under OS 10.15 Catalina and later to launch screensaver graphics apps
+#
+# BOINC screensaver plugin BOINCSaver.saver (BOINC Screensaver Coordinator)
+# sends a run_graphics_app RPC to the BOINC client. The BOINC client then 
+# launches switcher, which submits this script to launchd as a LaunchAgent
+# for the user that invoked the screensaver (the currently logged in user.)
+# This script then launches gfx_switcher, which uses fork and execv to 
+# launch the project graphics app. gfx_switcher writes the graphics app's 
+# process ID to shared memory, to be read by the Screensaver Coordinator. 
+# gfx_switcher waits for the graphics app to exit and notifies then notifies 
+# the Screensaver Coordinator by writing 0 to the shared memory.
+#
+# We must go through launchd to establish a connection to the windowserver 
+# in the currently logged in user's space for use by the project graphics
+# app. This script then launches gfx_switcher, which uses execv to launch 
+# the project graphics app.
+# This Rube Goldberg process is necessary due to limitations on screensavers
+# introduced in OS 10.15 Catalina.
