There are still some serious bugs with this program.

1) MultiAlarm asks you for your password when you choose MultiAlarm->Quit MultiAlarm, but it DOESN'T ask you for your password if you just right-click the icon in the dock and choose "Quit". This is a fundamental security flaw for such a program.
2) The program increases the volume IN PHASES when the alarm goes off: it doesn't stay set to the maximum level. This means that if you decrease the volume using the button on your laptop (F4 on my Japanese iBook), the program will slowly increase the volume back to the maximum, however, it doesn't increase it fast enough. It's therefore possible to mute the alarm if you use the "decrease volume" button fast enough, which is exactly what I imagine an attacker would try first in response to the alarm.
3) Because the program appears in the dock, it is easy for an attacker to tell that the program is running (if they are at all familiar with it). This would possibly be useful as a deterrent if MultiAlarm were secure, but it's not. See bug #1. Because I hide my dock, however, it's not so useful for me. I believe this program would be better (and clutter u pmy dock less) if it ran in the menu bar.
4) I'm unable to change my alarm sound. No matter which one I select, I always get "lost.mp3".
5) I'm unable to set a custom background image. (I tried using a custom-made 1024 by 768 background and it just wouldn't show.) I always get the black screen with the lock.


Of course, in all likelihood, if someone steals your laptop, they're going to close it first anyway, so the whole thing is kind of moot.
