[JDEV] Resources and Priorities Questions

[Peter Millard]

Derek -

This could be implemented client side by having the client's auto-away
settings automatically goto '0' priority, and when you have activity, the
client kicks back to the "normal" priority for that client (say 1 or 2).
This would be a lot harder to implement server side I think.
