This seems kind of weak. perhaps it could be added to the manpage?

| 
| The man pages has:
| 
| 	 maxIdleTime (class Time)
| 		 This is how many minutes th  screensaver is allowed to run
| 		 before the password dialog box displays a prompt allowing an
| 		 arbitrary user to kill the running X session (default 20
| 		 minutes.)
| 
| The specific mechanism for killing the running X session is docuented
| in the password dialog box.
