It is not whether the mouse has moved but whether or not the page has
been sitting idle for too long.
For example, you may have a form and a session cookie that times out
in 20 minutes. If you haven't successfully submitted the form within
the allotted time then the cookie expires and you will need to log in
again.

Re-reading the OP I think that the statement was a red-herring, maybe
an over simplification of the session timeout. This can easily be
proven by disabling Javascript then waiting 10 minutes - then see what
happens. If nothing happens than it is probably Javascript looking at
mouse movement. If the page does redirect then it is probably the meta
refresh in action.
