Description William Jon McCann 2006-04-04 14:41:15 UTC
From discussion in bug 335831.
Comment 1 Havoc Pennington 2006-09-01 18:54:31 UTC
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.
Comment 2 William Jon McCann 2007-07-30 14:56:25 UTC
So, we'll probably do either 444927 or 346806.
