Hi,
I am looking at a way to auto-logout some workstation on inactivity.
xidle(1) seems great for such purpose. But I didn't found a way to just
use timeout and not also an active area (a corner where the program is
launched if pointer stays inside few seconds).
The following diff tries to implement a way to disable the active area
without being too intrusive.
For that, I used the `delay' parameter ("Specify the number of seconds
the pointer has to be in the given position before running the
program."), to allow value -1, and make it to discard the event.
Does it make sens ? Or any proposition to more straighfull approch ?
Thanks.
