IIRC, Turbogears has a default memory for logins, set to something like
30 minutes. So if you are inactive for > 30min it logs you out.

I'm guessing it wouldn't be hard for Aaron to change that to never log
you out.

For me, it isn't a major nuisance, because I have Firefox remember my
password, so a Login is only 2 clicks.

I don't know what it would take to make it optional (if you set a
checkbox it never forgets, if you don't set it, it forgets after 30
minutes).

But I do believe it is a mix of the cookie on the client side, and the
server actually expiring the secret after a period of time.
