Or just play a full screen slide show of various spreadsheets and documents. Will they really study the screenshots that closely to see the repetition?

Sure, spot-check and scrutize a small fraction.

(Not to say I endorse this means of tracking employees' time, I just don't think that's a big impediment to this method.)

In my experience employers only tend to look back at things like this once they have a “reason” and are trying to document/justify performance issues. Although I agree it doesn’t seem too far off to have a system that proactively analyzes the screenshots and alerts a manager when Facebook or gmail seems to be open a disproportionate amount of time.
