Automatic status change when idle for some time

[GoogleCodeExporter]

The title says it all, add support for automatic status change to idle when
inactive for a configurable amount of minutes.

Yeah, that would be really useful.

We will need platform addin for gnome/windows/etc to find this out right?

Yeah, probably. That shouldn't be a problem. For Linux, it's Xserver stuff 
(desktop
independent) AFAIK. And we don't really support other systems, yet.

I cant find anything online about how to accomplish this using c# and mono.

With xserver stuff should be the correct way, just as pidgin does it. But if 
not we could add a function to 
turn idle after some time of not typing any messages. But this is not so good.

Yeah if we are going to add the feature, we might as well do it right.

It will just have to wait until we find out more about how to do this. perhaps 
for 0.9?

I believe libxss is what we need. I just have a little problem with finding
documentation.
