Word of the Day screensaver question

This is probably something simple I'm overlooking, but on the new Word of the Day screensaver it often says "Press the D key to see more".

But when I do, it (naturally) exits the screensaver.

I feel dumb even asking, but how would I make it work (i.e., when I press "D" it would indeed show me more of the word's definitions, not quit the screensaver)?

Macbook, Mac OS X (10.4.10), iPhone

It sounds like it's working as it should, when you press the D key, the screensaver exits and the Dictionary application with the word definition showing should appear.

If Dictionary isn't launching, check in Applications, if it is try it out and see if it works otherwise. If it isn't in Applications, then there are ways to install it without too much trouble.

After experimenting, I've found that it only launches dictionary when the screensaver is set to NOT require a password.

Kinda defeats the purpose, but at least I know it's working properly...

It might be worth filing a bug report with Apple: http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html
