I chatted with the upstream maintainers on IRC, and they are going to
check this out. I've filed a bug [0], so kindly keep an eye on that, and
add any comments / updates to that bug report.
As a note, I was able to get things to work with a 15 minute timeout
just by following those instructions, but haven't attempted an
auto-logout after several hours.
Cheers,
Jim
