[kde-linux] Count idle time...

[Jonathan Chen (jonachen)]

No one has a clue?  I sure don't since I'm asking the list.

I'm sure there is  a way since the KDE screensaver programs knows when
your interactiving with the desktop or not.   So there must be a way to
know how KDE or ????? Keeps track of idle time.
