What would be the best way to figure out the total time the system has
been idle? When I say 'idle time', I mean the total number of seconds
since the last mouse-moved, keydown, mouse-down, disk-insert, or any
action by the user. I don't much care about network events. I am going
to do this in a device driver or VBL, but any suggestions would be
welcome.
