context: running a fullscreen application on a 2012 mac mini with mountain lion that i need to be able to shut down and start up on a regular schedule for an art installation.  processing version 1.5.1.

i have the scheduling figured out... just added the processing app as one of my startup applications and set a computer startup / shutdown schedule in the energy settings.  the app launches fine, however when it does, the menu bar across the top with the    (apple logo)    Finder     File      etc. stays on screen.

pre mountain lion, my work around was to use the robot class to just move the mouse from the top left corner of the screen <  http://wiki.processing.org/w/Robot_class > , but now it doesn't seem like that movement even registers unless i physically touch the mouse pad.  

does anyone have a solution to this?

thanks, hightop
