to list all the users that have been idle over the interval in the
list.  Using some kind of scripting language, you could then issue kill
signals to those procpids.

There's always pg_cancel_backend().
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.2/static/functions-admin.html

So:

select pg_cancel_backend(procpid) from pg_stat_activity where
current_query = '<IDLE>' and now() - query_start > interval '5
minutes';

should work nicely. I've not really tested that properly though.
