  Description     : run a program on X inactivity

xidle uses the XScreenSaver(3) extension to receive inactivity events
when a timeout is specified, running a specific program after the
elapsed time. xidle also monitors the very corner of the given position
for pointer activity and runs a program if the pointer sits there for
more than the specified number of seconds. This behavior is always
present, whether -timeout is specified or not.

For example, I’ve got this in my ~/.xinitrc for use with evilwm:

# run xlock on moving to the upper-right corner
xidle -ne -program '/usr/bin/xlock -mode life' &
