Growl 1.3.3, Mac OS 10.7.3 - Rollup announcements keep appearing when I am sitting at the computer. Seems to happen when I have been reading something onscreen - Growl seems to be firing Rollup when I have not used the keyboard in a bit, but is not detecting that the mouse is active. I shouldn't see Rollup announcements when I am in front of the computer. Rollup was initially set at 30 sec (default) but I changed it to 60, same behavior.
In my mind Rollup should not be firing unless the computer has put the display to sleep. If the display is awake, I am at the system using it. OS X dims the screen after a period of inactivity; is there a way to tell Growl to use that or display sleep as an indication that notices should go to Rollup, rather than guessing at activity based on a number of seconds? (And why seconds, rather than minutes? 5 min might be a better default time than 30 s!)

i agree whole-heartedly
that said, i have mine set to 5 minutes (300s), and i find that acceptable.
if you set the value to whatever the minimum out of screen saver start and display sleep is, you'll get almost the behaviour you want.

Idle detection will be better in 2.0. It may cover some of this. If it doesn't then let us know after 2.0 is out. :)
