When running Sikuli X-1.0rc2 from the Windows Vista task scheduler, any 'click' or 'type' calls don't work. eg:

  type('r', KEY_WIN)

will open Window's 'run' dialog when run directly from sikuli or from the command line, but not when run from the task scheduler. It appears that sikuli cannot control the keyboard or mouse when run from the task scheduler.

I've confirmed Sikuli is actually running by;
* Calling 'popup' will correctly display the popup
* Enabling 'setShowActions' will show the flashing target in the correct location (when using 'click'), but the mouse pointer won't move to the target.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Create a script containing
      popup("I'm running, no joke")
      type('r', KEY_WIN)
2. Add a batch file to run the program. eg:
     "C:\Program Files\Sikuli X\Sikuli-IDE-w.bat" -r "C:\Users\IcyTea\Documents\test.sikuli"
3. Run the batch file to confirm it works
4. Add it to the task scheduler
  - press the windows key
  - type 'task scheduler
  - click the 'action' menu
  - name 'test sikuli'
  - keep clicking next until you can set 'start a program'. Set the path to the batch file.
  - Keep clicking next until the task is create.
  - Click on the 'task scheduler library'
  - Right click on the new 'test sikuli' task, and click on 'run'.

It will (correctly) display the popup, but will (incorrectly) not open the 'run' dialog box.
