Solution 1

0) Setup a global datetime variable that is updated every time the user does something (any mouse click or key press in the app)

1) Create a thread that (every couple of seconds) compares the current time with the time saved in the variable, and if they vary by more than N minutes, log the user off and display the logon form.
