Not reliably - some O/S (read: win32) have suspect ways of passing events to windows, so not everything gets queused as you'd want or expect. What I did (this is not elegant) was modify the handle methods of my windows to detect enter/leave/move events, and use them to trigger resets. (The assumption being that if the mouse is moving, and entering/leaving your windows, then the user is still active.) That seemed to be enough and was easy to do.
