    Default Detect application idle

    Hi,
    Is there a way to detect when a GUI application has been idle, (ie, no user interaction), for a period of time ?

    Cheers,
    Chris.

    I guess you could use a QTimer, that you check for elapsed time and reset it whenever the application receives a mouse or key event?
