I'm trying to get a KDE Dev environment on Windows right now, since I probably 
found how to do that. I still need Mac guidance.

Uhm, I'm not sure if I got you here. Basically, you could start a QTimer every 
second, that polls KIdleTime::instance()->idleTime(). If the return value of 
idleTime() is inferior to 1000 (1 second), then the user has been active in 
that second. Otherwise, the user has been inactive. Is that what you were 
looking for?
