There's not really any mechanism in fltk to detect inactivity - this might be easier done from the host OS, which presumably does know which applications are being scheduled, and then have it kill the process after a period of inactivity. However, if you are keen to try and do it from within fltk (and what follows is speculative...) I'd suggest deriving your own window for the apps main window, and in its handle() method keep a note of any mouse movements (enter / leave / click / etc.) or keyboard events that get sent to your app. Then, have a Fl::add_timeout(); function that fires off (say every 10 seconds or whatever) and checks to see if the outer window has flagged any activity. It can then count up, and after (say) 10 periods of inactivity it can hide all the app windows and allow the app to expire. Something like that anyway... I'm sure others will have alternate (and very possibly better!) suggestions.
