This would be neat if sufficiently generalised -- for example, make it
work with virtual desktops and the like too.  I'd like it to log
screenblanker activity too, so that I could reconstruct actual events
when i leave to go home and forget to stop the clock.

Yep, definitely.  Personally I'd also like it to have guile hooks that
I could run on changing a project, which would speak to the database
that everyone else here uses for time tracking and save me updating it
by hand at the end of the day.  (gtt is so much more comfortable to use)
