Timer to find out if app id idle not working as expected

[Cupidvogel]

I tried this in main.cpp of my app:

Application app(argc, argv);
 
IdleTimer *timer = IdleTimer::instance(&app,5);
app.installEventFilter(timer);

Application app(argc, argv);

IdleTimer *timer = IdleTimer::instance(&app,5);
app.installEventFilter(timer);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Still same result. The debug message always comes 20 seconds after the app launches, no mater what I do, like clicking or moving the mouse.

Does the eventFilter method get called?

Yes, that's the problem, it does! If I put a simple qDebug in the event filter if conditional, it prints out all the time when I move my mouse or click anything! I cannot understand how it just fails to clear the timer!

Weird.
Have you tried stop/start?
