Sorry, that file I sent you will detect idle keyboard, mouse, cpu and
all kinds of stuff, but I don't see in it where it will log-off an idle
user. Seems like the screensaver could be fooled into doing a restart,
instead of showing some graphic or enable power-management features
which are used mainly by laptops (included in FC^) to shutdown. Sorry I
couldn't be more help. 

I found Kshutdown utility in KDE for FC6, under "utilities on the
k-menu". It will shut down the session at a certain time, but not on an
idle condition. Ric
