this feature already works for the who's new and who's online blocks.


here is a slightly improved version which adds offline indicator even
for admin created users who have not yet logged in.

add css class such that a theme can put nice online/offline indicators
when showing a username link.


i made sure the relevant queries in node, user, and tracker modules
were passing the $user->access parameter which triggers the addition of
this css class.


no added quries or JOINS needed.much of this patch is just moving the
'inactivity timer' pref from the Who's Online block config page to the
main admin/settings/user page.


would be nice if someone contributed small graphics for online offline
and added these to drupal.css. this would enhance our default
presentation. i'd like for this patch not to wait on that, if possible.

I really like thi. +1. I managed to grey out my avatars of offline users
(looks very good!) with this patch.


One thing is the whos online block. IMO that should follow these same
rules.
