During discussion in the later thread

I noticed a suggestion to use a d-bus method, unfortunately it is
Gnome-specific
https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/396911/how-can-i-tell-if-a-user-is-idle-in-wayland/
dbus-send --print-reply --dest=org.gnome.Mutter.IdleMonitor
/org/gnome/Mutter/IdleMonitor/Core org.gnome.Mutter.IdleMonitor.GetIdletime
Another interface likely may give not really reliable results:
org.freedesktop.ScreenSaver GetSessionIdleTime

Unsure if some workaround like in xprintidle should be used on this way:
https://github.com/g0hl1n/xprintidle/blob/master/xprintidle.c#L150
* Workaround: Check if if XServer is in a dpms state, check the
* current timeout for this state and add this value to
* the current idle time and return.

Is there a reasonable way to avoid code duplication? I agree that
`executable-find' may be better since `org-clock-pgtkidle-program-name'
might contain spaces or shell specials causing issues with current code.
