I wondered whether that's what it was. Presumably most people would  
be running video cues to a separate display (I can't test it as you  
don't get a VGA converter lead free with the MacBook and the iBook  
one doesn't fit) and you don't want your desktop popping up between  
cues. However I noticed that while the screen went black for the  
first cue, when I came to a stop cue between video cues, the screen  
flashed black and then went to my desktop but with no mouse pointer,  
which only returned when I pressed escape. If there are any video  
cues in a sequence, the screen(s) would need to be black (or a  
selectable colour or image perhaps) whenever a cue is not being played.
