This is exactly what i want to happen but i dont know enough cocoa to do this.
So learn a little Cocoa. You don't need much; Mostly just learn the syntax
of Obj-C and use the Project Builder "screen saver" (ok, PBX hasn't caught
up with the new terminology ;-) template and add your code to that.
It would be very trivial to have your screen effect blank the screen and put
up a text message that sez: "You have been idle for XX minutes; You will be
logged out if you continue to be idle for YY more minutes.". At the end of
that timeout if the user hasn't exited the screen effect then it can send a
logout Apple event to the Finder. QED.
