changeset 17087:e8c3b6da7f18

Part of a patch from: http://www.linuxpowertop.org/known.php#gaim "The GAIM instant messaging client checks every 5 seconds if you have been idle more than 10 minutes, to mark you away in the IM networks you're connected to." The patch changes the idle checking code: arjan: it's basically looking for "when is the next time I really care about idle"
