[kde-linux] Count idle time...

[Jonathan Chen (jonachen)]

You know your idea would work,  Just that how would it be excuted?

I can't have it as a screensaver to turn it on.   This automatic log out
from KDE can not be changed by the user.  It  would be an administrative
function on KDE 3.1.3(Yes, I know its old. I wish I can upgrade too!).
