it means that they are still online but haven't used the aim for a set period of time. When something is idling it isn't being used.

It means that their computer is on
and they have their IM logiged in
just that they aren't sending or receiving any messages
i.e. they have it up and walked away for dinner or to talk to somebody in another room
