I saw that code, but he is using GetLastInputInfo, which is Windows only and I need something that works on Windows, OSX, and Linux. It is also tracking *user* idle time (across all applications), rather than application idle time (which is what I am after). I also couldn't get wxIdleEvent to work as I'd expect, because it's always generated on Windows (I get a stream of IDLE events), but only after some other events on OSX and Linux (as documented). Also, I registered EVT_KILL_FOCUS handler on the main frame in the application, but it's not triggered when the focus is changed to another application. Right now I simply set a timer for X/2 seconds (where X is the period I want to track) and track document modification events that happen during that time. I don't get the exact interval I need, but it's not critical; I'm never more than X/2 seconds off. I was looking for something more centralized and simpler than what I have now, but couldn't find it.
