If I have a pygtk app and I want it to do something if its been sitting

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?
I created a base class that most of my dialogs inherit. Then is has a
setup method that goes through every widget in the dialog and connects
to the key_press_event and button_press_event. That event handler
updates my session timer. Then a timeout runs that checks that session
timer and does the appropriate stuff.
Thanks,

How does your session timer get updated when there are no events
happening? Are you using the system clock or something?
Thanks for the info :)
