Actually, that's the garbage collection time.  It won't log you
off.

After a quick perusal of the code, there's lots of places where a
timeout would be _handled_, but there's no place where a timeout is
_generated_.  So, the event handling code is there, but there's no
way to cause the event.  "A solution looking for a problem, perhaps?"

I'm looking into this and as soon as I have bodgered a way to invoke
a timeout, I'll post it.  BTW, I'm _running_ some older, buggered,
released code (2.2).  I'm working on the 2.3 version, but have not
even looked at the CVS stuff.  Why?  Because I have 1400 domains and
about 5000 users running IMP right now.  I have to beat anything to
death before I let my clients see it (saves a LOT of tech support
calls).

This is understandable, but if you are working on 2.3, you _really_ should be 
keeping up with CVS. Things are changing and being fixed very quickly; it's not 
quite to the point where I'm willing to say that the various APIs involved have 
settled enough that you'll have an easy time keeping up with patches even if 
you've made local mods.
