I just committed a small tool (Services/Private/Idle) which sends a notification every minute that the user is idle. This uses the X11 MIT_SCREEN_SAVER extension, which is found on pretty much every relatively modern X server (I checked FreeBSD, OS X and Solaris). This sends a UserIdleNotification, one per minute that the user is idle, from EtoileIdleTimer. The userInfo dictionary contains the number of minutes that the user has been idle for as an NSNumber with the key @"Minutes". I'll set up a handler for these in StepChat at some point for auto- away. It can also be used to activate the screensaver, once we have one, and for any other program that wants to do something when the user goes idle. Once again, please test...
