>   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' &

Then, what's the difference with xautolock?
