Subject: [PATCH] org-clock-x11idle-program-name: Prefer "xprintidle", when
 available

* lisp/org-clock.el (org-clock-x11idle-program-name): Change the
default value to "xprintidle" when its executable is available.
Fallback to previous default otherwise.  Update :package-version and
remove :version tags.
* etc/ORG-NEWS (New and changed options):
(~org-clock-x11idle-program-name~ now defaults to =xprintidle=, when available):
Document the change.
