Merely relying on WMII events to determine idleness may lead to
undesirable results. WMII may not receive any events while the user is
typing away to a particular client. There is the MIT Screen Saver
extension, which might be of some use. Alternatively, you could see
what sort of hacks xscreensaver uses to detect idleness.
