i cant quite remember the namespace right now but one of them gives you access to watching processes.

i decided that my definition of idle is no activity from keyboard and mouse. is there a way to monitor if there is no activity coming from those input devices?

you may be able to monitor it through the use of a mouse/keyboard hook.
i have no personal experience doing this but that doesnt mean it cannot be done!
look into hooking the keyboard/mouse and see what you can / can't find.
