From discussion in bug 335831.
It seems you can use the screensaver extension just to get the idle time, and ignore all the rest of it... See for example: http://svn.mugshot.org/dumbhippo/trunk/client/linux/src/hippo-idle.c Originally found in the GNOME "typing break" code. It seems to work OK so far. This does involve polling still, maybe getting an event is slightly better.
So, we'll probably do either 444927 or 346806.
