Hmmmm, not sure if there's a reliable one. You can check if user_touched has been updated BUT this gets updated for things like people leaving messages on their talk page.
It gets reset for a user if other people edit that user's talk page? That kind of seems like a bug. :-)
Probably (one of?) the reason(s) is so that pages will get the orange "new message" notif box even if they're revisiting a page they already saw recently which is in their browser's cache.
