Catching all keyDowns and mouseDowns in application

I have a feeling this may be a FAQ, but can't find anything in the archives.

I'm trying to implement a timed inactivity lockout in my application, so that if there are no key or mouse events for a set period of time, the application locks the user out, requiring a password to unlock. Since I don't want to have to subclass every window in the application and override -keyDown: and -mouseDown: in each of them, is there a way to catch all key and mouse events at one point in the responder chain?

If not, can anyone suggest a better way of handling this sort of inactivity timeout?

Regards,
-Jeremy
