  GDestroyNotify notify
)

Description

No description available.

Parameters

`interval_msec`	`guint64`
	The idletime interval, in milliseconds.
`callback`	`MetaIdleMonitorWatchFunc`
	The callback to call when the user has accumulated `interval_msec` milliseconds of idle time.
`user_data`	`gpointer`
	The user data to pass to the callback.
`notify`	`GDestroyNotify`
	A `GDestroyNotify`.

Return value

Returns: guint

A watch id

Adds a watch for a specific idle time. The callback will be called when the user has accumulated interval_msec milliseconds of idle time. This function will return an ID that can either be passed to meta_idle_monitor_remove_watch(), or can be used to tell idle time watches apart if you have more than one.

Also note that this function will only care about positive transitions (user’s idle time exceeding a certain time). If you want to know about when the user has become active, use meta_idle_monitor_add_user_active_watch().
