Welllllllll, I would like to use something existing before inventing the wheel... And maybe some enhanced "w" or maybe a plugin to "w" (whatever) could do the job.
What about offering some new ideas instead of just stating the obvious and unfeasable (I don't have time to dive into large sources now) ? Btw: Using xautolock to run a program after x minutes idle time is not enough because I need a per-minute sample wether the user is active or not to be able to create true usage profiles. And I need to know also (end especially) about extended periods of inactivity.
