chrome idle api
noam
be passed to the function - a threshold (which determines when the
machine is idle) and a callback.
when calling chrome.idle.onStateChanged.addListener you can only give
this function a function which is called when the state changes from
idle to active. But how is idle defined here? By that I mean after how
many seconds or minutes does the machine go into the idle state? Is
there any way to change this?
I would think it makes sense if this would accept a threshold argument
as well. Or perhaps I'm missing something obvious.

The event only fires onf transitions from IDLE to ACTIVE. The poll
interval used is 15 seconds. To detect changes to the other states,
you need to poll.
