Geoff,

You are right, but good programming practice would dictate that you 
chain to ScreenStabilizedEvent in any case.  The advantage of doing this 
is that your scripts could benefit from (or at the very least not break) 
future modifications made by FS to the default scripts.  In other words, 
although running the default event at the end wouldn't actually do 
anything for you now, it would help to future-proof the scripts.

Hth,
Andrew.
