You can probably get it from X somehow, but... Basically, be aware that it is entirely possible for a Linux user to invoke python scripts in an enviromnent where this information cannot be obtained, and may not even meaningfully exist. So be sure you fail back gracefully when that happens. Decide in advance what you will infer from "there is no way to obtain this information". Also provide an override. Imagine how helpful it would be to a user to have your script act as though the user had gone idle based on what some OTHER user was doing! -s -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
