You could probably try using window.onblur in conjunction with AJAX to send a signal to the server that the window has lost focus.

*edit*

I would recommend using window.onblur in conjunction with a JavaScript timeout function. You'll have to determine how long is too long to loose the user's attention (IE they have left the computer or window while visiting a bank site and you wish to log them out if they fail to acknowledge that they are still present).
