Oh, then we're not seeing the exact same behaviour -- when I switch
virtual desktops in Gnome (where Emacs isn't on any of them), then idle
time isn't reset.

But I guess it's window manager dependent.

Do you get focus-in events when you do the changing between pages in the
way you describe?  Try putting something on focus-in-hook -- that should
be run when Emacs gets a focus-in event.
