Weston's idle timeout can already be set via the '-i' command-line

Note that the command-line option takes precedence over the .ini,
should the option be set by both.
This patch also Updates weston.ini man page with idle-timeout bits

These docs are handy; I'd wondered if --idle-timeout controlled the
screensaver timing but had to just experiment with it to see. (I wonder
if the option could be more obviously named?) Improving the man page
will clarify this for others.
You surely mean "--idle-time" instead of "idle-timeout".... right ?
So.... Well, to be honest, for clarity reasons, I would stick to
"idle-time" in here because it controls the *same* functionality as the
-i command-line, also referred to as "idle-time" in weston.man.
Now, you're right in that it could be mistaken with a
screensaver-related feature.... so I will clarify some more in the man
page change.. good catch :)

We're leaving a question to the reader here, "What does 'if opt-in'
mean?" It might be friendly to point them to further documentation on
hooking up and/or configuring screensavers here.
Thought it was pretty clear at first, but I can certainly try to add
more precision about the fact that screensavers are not automatically
enabled/turned on a timeout time.
So all of the above in patch v2, stay tuned.
Btw, do you know if we have anything to inhibit/re-enable the
screensaver at runtime?
