[pygtk] Best way to check program idle time??

[Chris Irish]

If I have a pygtk app and I want it to do something if its been sitting 
idle for a few minutes.  What is the best way to go about this?  It 
seems to me that I would need a timer that would be reset everytime a 
signal was emitted or something?  Any ideas..... or has anyone done 
this.  Would I need every signal emitted to call a timer reset method 
AND the method to perform its usual action?  How would i keep the timer 
incrementing after I left the method? 

Thanks,
Chris
