What were you trying to do?
	Connect to the libraries using the xlogin menu option.

What's wrong:
	I'm disconnected after ten minutes.

What should have happened:
	The timer should in some way detect X server idleness, and
	reset itself whenever the user does something (moves the
	mouse, presses a button, types a key) on the server.  I'd even
	settle for just detecting keypressed, since it's unlikely that
	anyone would work for ten minutes without hitting a key.  But
	it should do *something* to check if people are working on the
	machine.
