You want the Emacs behavior to change depending on whether "the user
is idle" or not, right?  If the practical implementation of that will
be "when Emacs is idle", you might not have the behavior you wanted,
because Emacs might _not_ be idle when the user is.

I hope this clarifies the point I was trying to make.
