Try IRT.org, there's a script there that does exactly what you want
http://developer.irt.org/script/1563.htm
While the example only uses mouse movement, you can also add in onClick()
and onKeyPress() on the onLoad statement and trigger the same resettimer
function as appropriate.

Q1563 How can I redirect to another page if there is no activity by the user
for a certain amount of time?
<html>
<head>
<script language="_javascript_"><!--
if (document.layers) {
window.captureEvents(Event.MOUSEMOVE);
}
window.>
var tID = '';
function resetTimer(e) {
alert('here');
clearTimeout(tID); // reset the timer
tID = setTimeout('executeTimer()',10000);
}
function executeTimer() {
location.href = '';
}
//--></script>
</head>
<body = setTimeout('executeTimer()',10000)"
> ...
</body>
</html>
