DESCRIPTION

The xgoned program is used to start "xgone" on an idle machine.  A machine is idle if it has not received input from the console in a fixed amount of time. 

BUGS

An idle machine is one that has not received input from the keyboard.  Mouse motion is not considered, causing "xgone" to be started if the user uses only the mouse for too long.
