###IdleMonitor abstract class

The interface is defined in the abstract class IdleMonitor like below.

	public abstract class IdleMonitor
	{
		...
		public event EventHandler TimeoutEventHandler;
		protected IdleMonitor(TimeSpan timeout){...}
		public abstract void Start();
		public abstract void Stop();
		...
	}

In the WinForm or WPF application, it can just create one IdelMonitor from IdleMonitorFactory, then call the Start() to start the Idle Monitor, and call the Stop() to stop the IdleMonitor. The application can add event handler to TimeoutEventHandler, when the timeout reached, the event handler will be called.
