RFC: idle protocol

[Martin Graesslin]

Hi Wayland-developers,

at KDE we developed a protocol for our framework kidletime [1]. The idea is to 
notify Wayland clients when a wl_seat has been idle for a specified time. We 
use this for example for power management, screen locking etc. But a common 
use case is also setting a user as away in a chat application.

We think that this protocol can be in general useful for all Wayland based 
systems. Our current protocol is attached to this mail. Of course for 
integration into wayland protocols the namespace needs adjustments (I'm open 
for suggestions).

The reference implementation of the protocol can be found in the KWayland 
repository (client at [2], server at [3]).

Best Regards
Martin Gräßlin
