Setting effective UID for a shell script



How can I set the effective UID for a shell script? I've got a script
which checks if xscreensaver is running and if not, starts it and then
activates it. However, the script always gets run as root (it's being
run as an APM script). This doesn't work if I'm logged in as myself
since xscreensaver will think it's dealing with root.
