Sorry, I forgot to reply to all when Nicolas D. answered the first
email and took it off the list. Here is what you missed regarding
org-clock.el:

The problem I see here is that 0 is a valid output for x11idle, so if
the check is done while X11 is not idle, it will fall back to
org-emacs-idle-seconds. From what I could see in the
shell-command-to-string, there is no way to tell between an output
from the program and the 0 the function returns if there is no output
(can't find the command). That's why I added the additional check for
the command existence.

Optimally, that check would be done once at startup or the first time
idle time is checked but I lack the elisp skills to perform such a
"feat".

That being said, the patch was merged in, so I don't know if it's an
indication that I should not worry.

Thanks,
