Subject: dash logout

Many times I've seen a workstation unattended with a Dash "Do you really
want to log out?" window across the screen. How about making it assume a
default answer of "yes" if there is no keyboard/mouse activity for two
minutes (or five minutes, or ten minutes) after that message appears? After
all, if the person doesn't want to log out, he's not going to walk away
from the computer for very long without getting rid of the logout query.
