Think about what you're asking in another way.. 

how long does a user perform a non-action?

Unless they perform another action that affects a monitoring device you
can't tell anything about their activity. Supposing I went to
slashdot.org and then, because I'm using a window manager that has
multiple desktops, I went to another desktop, where I spent several
hours on the company billing system.. yet a monitoring tool would think
I was lazing around on slashdot..

ho hum.. perfect example here! Bet you thought I was slow getting back
to you, but I had a meeting in between writing the above paragraph and
this one ;)
